APC Extends Ekiti, Osun Executives' Tenure to 2027

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has extended the tenure of the party’s executive committees in Ekiti and Osun states until March 28, 2027. This decision, made during the NWC's 195th meeting on September 26, 2026, aims to enhance internal cohesion ahead of the 2027 general election.

The extension follows an earlier one granted in June and postpones fresh congresses in both states until after the elections. A letter from Sulaiman Argungu, the party’s National Organising Secretary, addressed to the state chairmen, confirmed this decision, which was based on appeals from the state chapters on September 9.

Senior party sources indicated that the leadership's decision was influenced by the proximity of the proposed congresses to the January 2027 election, aiming to avoid internal disputes that could hinder electoral preparations. Segun Dipe, the Ekiti State Publicity Secretary, confirmed the extension and emphasized the party's commitment to due process and mobilization efforts for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu.
