The All Progressives Congress (APC) has formally notified the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of a new date for the conduct of its State Congress in Ondo State, following an interim order issued by the Federal High Court in Akure.
In a letter dated March 9, 2026, and addressed to the INEC Chairman, the party explained that the decision became necessary after the court restrained both the commission and the APC from conducting the congress earlier scheduled to hold.
The letter, jointly signed by the APC National Chairman, Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, and the National Secretary, Ajibola Bashiru, stated that the party had since resolved the issues that prompted the court action.
