APC Membership Registration and Re-validation Exercise Extended

The ruling All Progressives Congress APC has said it has extended her nationwide membership registration and re-validation exercise three weeks to enable all her members to participate in the exercise.
This was contained in a statement issued by the party’s National Secretary, APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Sen. John Akpanudoedehe.

The ruling party noted that so far, the exercise has recorded tremendous success in various states, including states headed by the opposition party.
According to the party, “the Nationwide Membership Registration and register update exercise began on Tuesday, February 9, 2021, across the 36 states of the federation.

“The feedback across the states have been overwhelming and beyond the projected success level, with a massive turnout of intending registrants beyond the expectation of the party.
“This development is responsible for the shortage of registration materials recorded in many states across the country and thereby warranting an extension of the exercise to allow every interested Nigerian to identify with the ruling party, the APC officially.

“On behalf of the National Chairman Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), His Excellency, Hon. Mai Mala Buni, I wish to use this opportunity to appreciate the good works of His Excellency, Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state-led Youth, Women Mobilization and Persons with Disabilities’ Sensitisation Committee, the National Registration, Revalidation Committee led by Governor Sani Bello of Niger State, the states steering committees for the exercise and all party officials who have been both, directly and indirectly, involved in the movement from the outset.

“We have received a nationwide acknowledgement of the increasing popularity of the APC, and most especially in states governed by the opposition party. Biases in some sections might have made attempts to rubbish the President Muhammadu Buhari administration’s good works. Still, the public’s robust and impressive response in the ongoing registration exercise has spoken to Nigerians’ right minds and has put paid to the false narratives of the party’s critics, cynics, and the opposition.

“In response to the demands across the states for an extension to allow accommodation of all prospective members, the party has therefore extended the nationwide membership registration exercise by a period of three weeks.
“This extension will shift the end of the exercise to Wednesday, March 31, 2021. Additional disbursement of registration materials to meet up the demands reported in most states has commenced. It will continue until the material needs of all the affected states are adequately met.

“Finally, and again, our appreciation goes to all who have made this exercise successful up to date; and a broad welcome to all new members into the party,” the party noted in the statement.
