The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said its forthcoming congresses won’t hold in Osun, Ekiti, Rivers and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The party had constituted members of the Ward/Local Government Congresses Screening Committees, Screening Appeals Committees, as well as the Ward/LGA Congresses (election) and Congresses Appeal Committees.
The committees lists was published on the APC social media platform
were signed by the Party’s National Organising Secretary, Sulaiman Muhammad Argungu on Monday.
However, the congresses will not take place in Osun state, Ekiti state, Rivers state and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, told journalists.
Morka said the exclusion of the Osun, Ekiti and FCT from the congresses is due to the forthcoming governorship and area councils election in the states and territory.
He also said Rivers is excluded from the exercise because the APC had held an off-season congress in the state and tenure of the elected executives is still subsisting.
In their place, the election for local government areas (five state delegates and three national congress delegates) will be conducted.
Morka, however, urged all members of the congresses Committee to discharge their responsibilities diligently, transparently and in strict adherence to the Party’s Constitution and Guidelines.
APC had fixed Wednesday, February 18 for its ward congresses while the exercise at local government level will be held on Friday, February 20, 2026.
