The All Progressives Congress (APC) has ordered the formal swearing-in of its newly elected executive committee members, signaling the start of their official duties within the party.
The directive was issued on Tuesday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, emphasizing that the inauguration must follow the provisions of the APC constitution.
The Ward and Local Government congresses took place on February 18, with several states already completing their congresses. Lagos and a few other states held theirs on Tuesday.
While some earlier congresses were marred by disputes, with aggrieved members reportedly seeking legal redress, the APC national leadership insisted that all duly elected officials must be formally sworn in.
The statement read in part:
“The All Progressives Congress hereby directs that the Ward, Local Government and State Executive Committees duly elected at the 2026 Congresses of the Party be sworn in/inaugurated today or soon hereafter in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Party’s Constitution. Our great Party wishes to thank all members, stakeholders and supporters for the peaceful conduct of Congresses around the country. Congratulations to all.”
