APC Shuts Down National Headquarters Over Kidnapped Director's Death
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the closure of its national secretariat in Abuja, commonly known as Buhari House, following the tragic murder of its Director of Administration, AbdulRauf Adeniji. The decision was made public through a memo titled "Secretariat closure for the mourning of the director of administration".
Adeniji was kidnapped several weeks ago in Abuja, and despite the party paying a ransom of N50 million, he was reportedly killed. The news of his demise has sent shockwaves through the party, prompting an outpouring of grief and solidarity.
The APC has declared a period of mourning, with the national secretariat closed from all party and work activities effective immediately until Monday, April 14, 2025. During this time, staff are advised to engage in sober reflection and offer prayers for the family and loved ones of the deceased.
The closure of the national secretariat underscores the party's deep sorrow and respect for the late director. A condolence register will be opened at the National Secretariat in his honor, allowing party members and staff to pay their respects.
The APC's national secretary, in a memo signed by the deputy director of administration, Ubagba Abel, expressed the party's shock and sadness over Adeniji's passing. 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 tragic event has raised concerns about security and the safety of party members, particularly in the nation's capital. The APC's decision to shut down its headquarters serves as a poignant reminder of the risks faced by public figures and the need for enhanced security measures.
The APC's mourning period is a testament to the impact of Adeniji's death on the party and its members. As the party comes to terms with this tragic loss, it is essential to reflect on the circumstances surrounding his kidnapping and death, and to consider ways to prevent similar incidents in the future. The party's response to this crisis will be closely watched, as it seeks to balance its grief with the need to ensure the safety and security of its members.
