The All Progressives Congress (APC) postpones several governorship and State House of Assembly primary elections in Bauchi, Kwara and Zamfara, citing disruptions and scheduling changes. In Kwara State, reports say tension and disruption occur at the APC party secretariat in Ilorin, leading the party to suspend the governorship primary midway and reschedule it. The APC confirms that the Kwara governorship primary is moved to Friday, May 22, 2026.
Across other affected states, APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka announces that the governorship primary elections in Bauchi and Kwara are also rescheduled to Friday, May 22, 2026. Vanguard reports similar timing for Bauchi and Kwara, and also notes that the postponement covers governorship primaries in Zamfara. The Punch and Vanguard state that the rescheduling applies to governorship and State House of Assembly primaries in the mentioned states.
All reports present the same date for the postponed exercises and indicate the party acts after interruptions at party levels, particularly in Kwara’s Ilorin.
