Felix Morka, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, announced the extension on Thursday after the 183rd National Working Committee meeting. He emphasised that the decision came in response to appeals from enthusiastic members still working to complete their registration.
The party has also set February 18, 2026, for Ward Congresses across the country, with its National Convention scheduled for March 27-28, 2026.
Four states – Osun, Ekiti, the Federal Capital Territory, and Rivers – will not participate in the upcoming congresses. Morka explained that Osun, Ekiti, and the FCT are exempted due to upcoming elections, with their congresses to follow after those polls. Rivers State recently conducted off-cycle congresses, and those executives remain in office.
