The All Progressives Congress (APC) has ordered the formal swearing-in of its newly elected executive committee members, signalling the start of their official duties within the party.

The directive came in a statement on Tuesday from APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, emphasizing that the inauguration must comply with the party’s constitution.

The party’s Ward and Local Government congresses were held on February 18, 2026, while several states, including Lagos, conducted their congresses on Tuesday. Despite some disputes and pending legal challenges from aggrieved members, the APC national leadership insisted that all duly elected officials 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.”

This move ensures that party structures at all levels are officially operational, enabling the APC to consolidate its organizational framework ahead of the 2027 general elections.
