An official report had stated that Buhari will be buried on Tuesday, July 15, in his hometown of Daura, Katsina State, according to state officials.
In a statement issued on Monday by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Barrister Felix Morka, the ruling party announced that its national headquarters would remain closed from Monday, July 14, and reopen on Thursday, July 17, 2025.
“As directed by the acting national chairman of our great party, Hon. Bukar Dalori, the party’s national secretariat will be closed starting today, Monday, July 14 and will reopen on Thursday, July 17, 2025,” the statement read.
The party called on its members and Nigerians at large to observe the mourning period with solemnity and prayer.
