Interim National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Lai Mohammed has disclosed that the party would begin the registration of its members nationwide next month.
Although Mohammed admitted that the November date is tentative, he revealed that the party has already finalised the process as well as created a format of its activities that would enable it to participate in future elections. He also said harmonisation of membership registration into the party would be carried out from ward level to ensure that all its members are registered.
“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, promising that the nationwide membership registration would strengthen the party and enable it to contest all future elections in the country.
“It is on 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,” he stressed, expressing optimism about the party’s success chances in the November 16 governorship election in Anambra.
He appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the security agencies to discharge their responsibility credibly, urging them to create a level playing ground so as to curb violence.
