APC shuts national secretariat in honour of slain director
The All Progressives Congress has shut down its national secretariat in Abuja.
This followed the killing of the party’s Director of Administration, AbdulRauf Adeniji, by suspected kidnappers.
Adeniji was killed last month.
The ruling party announced the measure in a memo titled: ‘Secretariat closure for the mourning of the director of administration,” issued on Thursday.
