The All Progressives Congress (APC) has shut down its national secretariat in Abuja in honour of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who died on Sunday at the age of 82 in a London hospital.
The party’s national headquarters, popularly known as Buhari House, was named after the late president in recognition of his role in the party’s formation and leadership.
In a statement issued on Monday, APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, announced the closure, adding that operations would resume on Thursday, July 17.
“The All Progressives Congress (APC) announces the closure of its National Secretariat in Abuja in honour of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR,” the statement read.
“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.”
The party called on members and Nigerians at large to use the mourning period for “quiet reflection and prayers for the repose of the soul of our departed leader.”
Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s military head of state from 1984 to 1985 and as a democratically elected president from 2015 to 2023, is being remembered across the country and internationally for his leadership and service.
