APC Directs Immediate Swearing-In of All Elected 2026 Party Executives

By Emmanuel Kwada

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a directive for the immediate swearing-in and inauguration of all duly elected Ward, Local Government, and State Executive Committee members following the successful conduct of the party’s 2026 Congresses nationwide.

In a press statement released today, the party instructed that the inauguration ceremonies should take place “today or soon hereafter” in line with the provisions of the APC Constitution.

The statement reads in part:

“The All Progressives Congress (APC) 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.”

The APC commended party members, stakeholders, and supporters for ensuring peaceful congresses across the country. The party described the process as successful and extended congratulations to all elected executives.

The directive comes at a critical time as the ruling party seeks to fully constitute its leadership structures at the grassroots, local, and state levels ahead of preparations for future electoral activities.

The statement was signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, CON.

No specific date for the nationwide inaugurations has been fixed beyond the instruction to proceed “today or soon hereafter,” leaving room for state and local party organs to schedule the ceremonies according to local circumstances while complying with the party’s constitution.

Further details on the swearing-in events are expected to be announced by respective state and local party chapters in the coming days.
