Tinubu Endorses APC’s electronic registration of members.
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced that the nationwide electronic registration of its members has received the approval of President Bola Tinubu.
This confirmation came from the National Chairman of APC, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, during a meeting with 33 members of the APC state chairmen at the party’s headquarters in Abuja on Saturday.
The visit followed a call from the Forum of APC Chairmen urging the President to take decisive action against security agency heads found lacking in the fight against insecurity and banditry.
Ganduje, while welcoming the delegation, revealed the President’s satisfaction with the performance of the state chairmen and endorsed the electronic registration of members to strengthen its membership base ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He stated, “This is a significant courtesy call you made to Mr. President. He is pleased with it. The president has granted your requests, especially on political appointments. He is addressing it.”
Ganduje emphasized the importance of electronic registration, which is already in progress, and highlighted the need for grassroots involvement in the recruitment of officials to oversee the registration process.
The Deputy National Organising Secretary of the party, Duru Meseko, echoed Ganduje’s stance, explaining that two officials from each state would be trained in Abuja to facilitate the recruitment for the exercise.
In response, Secretary of the forum, Alphonsus Ogah, commended both Tinubu and Ganduje for bringing stability to the party and the nation. He emphasized the importance of updating the party membership register, noting that the 2023 elections revealed the actual membership strength of the party.
Ogah stressed the need to match registered members with their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to accurately predict election outcomes.
He said, “We will be more comfortable if today we know we have 10 million registered members in APC. But we must match them with their PVCs so we can prognosticate on the likely outcome of an election even before 2027.”
The delegation also discussed various sensitive issues with the President, including the need for accountability and efficiency in governance.
