APC Claims Membership e-Registration Has Hit 2m In 1 Week

Over two million members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have been digitally verified in the ongoing nationwide e-membership registration exercise of the party in the last one week.

APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, disclosed this after the national chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, some members of the National Working Committee (NWC) and state coordinators overseeing the exercise met at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja on Monday.

Basiru stated that APC members across the country were directed to be digitally identified before the end of January, 2025.

He said the exercise was significant to the party because the data from e-registration was essential to its operational efficiency; mobilisation, organisation and consultation.

The national secretary projected that by next week when the party will bring new update, the figure will climb up to about eight or nine million.

Basiru charged party leaders and stakeholders in all states to take the exercise seriously as it was key to planning for the 2027 general election.

“We are happy to inform the Nigerian people that as of today, just a week into the exercise, with many of the states yet to even start in full, Nigerians who are registered to be members of APC are already in excess of 2 million members who are digitally verified and have their name and also have their voter identification number.

“In a couple of days, particularly when we’ll be making another assessment by next week, we should be in the region of about eight or nine million and in membership by the grace of God.

“What is also important is to say that we want our stakeholders in all states to take this exercise seriously. It stands at the root of ensuring that we have an organic party that is mobilising Nigerians to support the Renewed Hope Agenda of our president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he added.
