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, addressed to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Signed by the party’s National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, the letter stated that a new date for the congresses would be communicated in due course.

“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.

Sources indicate that the postponement is intended to allow Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri to finalize a planned defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC ahead of the congresses.
