The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the closure of its national secretariat in Abuja, known as Buhari House, in honour of its late Director of Administration, AbdulRauf Adeniji, who was reportedly murdered after being kidnapped weeks earlier.
The party revealed the decision in a memo titled ‘Secretariat closure for the mourning of the director of administration’ on Thursday, stating that the closure would take effect from Monday, April 14, 2025.
According to the APC, the period will be used for sober reflection and prayers for the deceased’s family and loved ones. A condolence register will also be opened at the secretariat.
The memo reads: “The National Secretary has approved the closure of the National secretariat from all party/work activities with immediate effect till Monday 14th April 2025.”
“This decision was made after he had received the news of the sad demise of the Director of Administration, the Late Hon. AbdulRauf Adekunle Adeniji.”
The late Adeniji’s death has drawn grief within the party, which described the development as a significant loss.
