The All Progressives Congress, APC, has announced the postponement of its State, Local Government and Ward congresses in Adamawa State.

The decision was conveyed in a letter dated February 17, 2026, and addressed to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

The letter, signed by the party’s National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, stated that a new date for the congresses would be communicated later.

“We write to inform you of the postponement of the State, Local Government and Ward Congresses for Adamawa State. A new date will be communicated to you in due course. Thank you and please accept the assurances of our highest regards,” the letter read.

It was gathered that the postponement is aimed at allowing Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri to complete a planned defection from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the APC ahead of the congresses.

President Bola Tinubu has commended Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris for executing major projects across the state.

Tinubu spoke on Saturday in Birnin Kebbi during the official opening of the newly completed State Secretariat Complex, which was named after him.

He also inaugurated several other projects completed under the Idris administration.

The president said he was not surprised by the governor’s achievements.

“I know what you can do. You are a man of mission and vision. I am always proud of you,” Tinubu said, describing Idris as a focused leader who cares deeply for the people.

Tinubu further thanked the people of Kebbi for supporting the state government, noting that their cooperation had helped the administration realise its objectives.

He assured Nigerians that the Federal Government would continue to support states in delivering development, particularly in infrastructure, healthcare, and education.

Among the projects inaugurated was the Birnin Kebbi Central Motor Park, built to improve transportation and stimulate business activities in the state capital.

Tinubu also opened the newly expanded three-lane road along Emir Haruna Road, the Kauran Gwandu College of Nursing and Midwifery Sciences in Ambursa, and the dualised Old Argungu Bypass.

The State Secretariat Complex, which cost billions of naira, was initially commenced in 2012 but was later revived and completed by Governor Idris.

The project is considered part of efforts to modernise government offices across the state.

Tinubu’s one-day visit also coincided with the closing ceremony of the 61st Argungu International Fishing and Cultural Festival, where he attended as Special Guest of Honour.
