The ruling All Progressives Congress has disclosed that the nationwide electronic registration of millions of its members has received the blessing of President Bola Tinubu.
This was disclosed by the National Chairman of APC, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, when he hosted 33 members of the APC state chairmen at the headquarters of the party in Abuja on Saturday.
While welcoming the delegation, an excited Ganduje disclosed that the president is happy with the performances of the state chairmen and further endorsed the e-registration of members to consolidate its membership strength ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He said, “This is a very important courtesy call you made to Mr President. He is so happy with it and it will continue like this. The president has granted your requests, especially on political appointments and he’s doing something about it.
“He emphasised the importance of electronic registration which we have been working on with the consultant and our committee at the headquarters which has gone far. Now, we are going to the grassroots level.
“It (registration) will be connected across all the wards of the federation but you need to oversee the recruitment of officials who will undertake the exercise. This is because you are involved in the recruitment and the execution of the registration.”
In his reaction, the secretary of the forum, Alphonsus Ogah, applauded both Tinubu and Ganduje for bringing stability to the party and the country.
He said, “We also wasted no time in telling Mr President that our party needs to be strengthened. And in strengthening our party, we need to thank Mr President for giving us a man in the mode of our national chairman, Dr Umar Ganduje, who has been so humble in consulting state chairmen on every policy, particularly the planned e-registration of membership of our party.
“Our national chairman came very prepared. He was focused on doing away with the rigmarole and the delusion that APC paraded 41 million people when in reality, we went into an election we barely got almost nine million votes. It is time to face reality because we have a President and a national chairman who are both progressive. You have state chairmen who are also progressively minded.”
