AbdulRazaq Flags Off Ruling Party ‘s Membership Electronic Registration

Kwara State governor,  AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has flagged off the e-registration and revalidation of membership for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

The governor, who was documented as the first registrant of the party in the state, said the exercise was designed to strengthen the party and ensure accurate membership tally for planning.

Speaking at the APC stakeholders’ engagement and commencement of e-registration and revalidation exercise, AbdulRazaq said everyone who wished to register as members of the party should be accommodated, cautioning against excluding anyone from the exercise.

“It is important that we know how many of us are members of this exclusive club (APC), which is arguably the biggest party in Africa. This is the only party to develop Nigeria and all the states in Nigeria, including all the local governments,” he said.

“We want to know how many we are, so that we can use that to enumerate, canvass, and protect ourselves properly, empower ourselves properly, not leaving anyone behind.

“Now, for those who have been tasked with this exercise: don’t exclude anyone. We need all the members we can get. So, make sure you register, not just our members, you should go out and canvass for new members.

“This is an opportunity to canvass new members.

You’ve seen all the work that’s been done from the federal level to the state and local government level. Use that to market the party, to make sure that we expand from where we used to be,” AbdulRazaq added.

The governor said his administration has executed projects across sectors which have made the state more developed and viable than it ever was.

“The facts speak for themselves across every sector. We have posted sterling performances that everyone can see in every part of the state,” he added.

The governor said everyone needs their National Identity Number (NIN) to be onboarded as members of the party.

The state chairman of APC, Prince Sunday Fagbemi, said the meeting was called to assure everyone in the APC that there is no hanky-panky, and to create equitable platform for all.

He said arrangements have been put in place to make sure no one is marginalised, adding that intending registrants will be required to meet some pre-conditions.

Fagbemi  commended the governor for his pragmatism and achievements across key sectors, including in the education, health, and road infrastructure.
