The All Progressives Congress has postponed its State, Local Government and Ward congresses in Adamawa State, according to a notice sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The party said the new date for the exercises will be announced later.
The decision was contained in a letter dated February 17, 2026, and addressed to the INEC Chairman.
The correspondence was signed by the APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, and the National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru. In the letter, the party informed the electoral body of the change in schedule and stated that further details would be communicated in due time.
The congresses were part of the party’s internal process to elect officials at the ward, local government and state levels in Adamawa. However, the postponement has been linked to political developments in the state involving Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri.
Sources within the party indicated that the delay is connected to plans for Fintiri to leave the Peoples Democratic Party and join the APC before the congresses are held.
The adjustment in timetable is believed to allow time for the governor’s planned move and any related political arrangements within the party structure.
The APC has not yet provided a fresh date for the congresses, leaving party members in the state awaiting further direction.
Meanwhile, political activities in Adamawa continue as parties prepare for upcoming engagements and possible shifts in alliances.
