APC extends Ekiti, Osun caretaker committees’ tenure

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has approved a six-month tenure extension for the party’s Caretaker Committee Executives in Ekiti and Osun States.

The approval was announced at the APC National Convention in Abuja on Friday, March 27, 2026.

The decision, the party said, was to ensure administrative continuity and stability ahead of upcoming gubernatorial cycles in the states.

Moving the motion for the extension, the senator representing Kano North, Barau Jibrin, said the tenure of the current caretaker committees at the ward, local government, and state levels would expire at the end of March 2026.

However, Jibrin noted that the forthcoming political developments made the current period unviable for conducting fresh congresses.

“It is expedient in the overall interest of the party to extend the tenures of the said caretaker committees to allow for proper coordination, consolidation, and preparation for the conduct of the congresses,” Jibrin stated.

The motion seconded by Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele was subsequently approved by the delegates at the convention.
