The All Progressives Congress (APC) has confirmed May 23, 2026, as the date for its presidential primary election ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to Ireporter Online, the ruling party dismissed reports circulating on social media alleging that the primary schedule had been postponed, describing such claims as false and misleading.

In a statement released on Wednesday by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the party reaffirmed that its electoral timetable remains unchanged. The schedule indicates that the House of Representatives primary election will hold on May 15, 2026, while the Senate primary is fixed for May 18. The State House of Assembly primary is slated for May 20, followed by the governorship primary on May 21, and the presidential primary on May 23.

The party also disclosed that it has commenced the screening of incumbent governors as part of preparations for the 2027 elections. Governors screened include Abba Yusuf of Kano State, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, Nasir Idris of Kebbi State, Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State, Hyacinth Alia of Benue State, Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, Umar Bago of Niger State, Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State, Bassey Otu of Cross River State, and Ahmed Aliyu of Sokoto State.
