APC Begins Membership Registration November

The All Progressives Congress (APC) is to begin the registration of its members nationwide “tentatively” in November.

Its interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in an interview in Abuja, that plans were being finalised to ensure the success of the exercise.

“We have to plan the logistics, if you do not plan well, you are not going to achieve anything.

“So what we are doing now, we are at the level of planning because the exercise will take place all over Nigeria,” he said.

According to him, the nationwide membership registration would strengthen the party and enable it to contest all future elections in the country.

Mohammed said the party had harmonised and finalised the process as well as create a format of its activities that would enable it  to participate in future elections.

He said  the harmonisation of membership registration into the party would also be carried out from ward level to ensure that all its members were registered.

He said APC had successfully conducted its primaries in Anambra State, noting that, “it is on the record that we are the only political party that has a transparent and direct primary.

“This simply means that our party loyalists voted from the ward to the state levels.”
Mohammed expressed optimism that the party would excel in the  November 16  governorship election in Anambra State.

He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the security agencies to discharge their responsibility credibly.

“We just hope that INEC would create a level playing ground, the security agencies will do the same, and violence to be curbed,” he said.
