APC Shuts Down National Secretariat To Mourn Former President Muhammadu Buhari

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has closed its national secretariat, known as “Buhari House,” in Abuja to mourn the passing of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.

Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s leader from 2015 to 2023, died on Sunday in London at the age of 82 after battling an undisclosed illness. The APC headquarters is named in his honour.

In a statement issued on Monday, APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka announced the temporary closure of the secretariat as a mark of respect.

“The All Progressives Congress (APC) announces the closure of its National Secretariat in Abuja in honour of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR,” Morka stated.

“As directed by the Acting National Chairman of our great Party, Hon. Bukar Dalori, the Party’s National Secretariat will be closed starting today, Monday, July 14, and will reopen on Thursday, July 17, 2025.”

Morka urged members and supporters of the party to use the mourning period for quiet reflection and prayers for the soul of the former president.

President Muhammadu Buhari was a prominent political figure in Nigeria and played a significant role in shaping the country’s democratic trajectory during his time in office.
