APC Nationwide Registration Hits Over Two Million – National Secretary
The All Progressives Congress, APC, has informed that it has recorded over two million, in its digitally ongoing membership registration verification, nation-wide, barely one week, commencement of the exercise.
The National Secretary of the Party, Senator Ajibola Basiru made this known at the Party National Secretatiat, Buhari House on Monday, after a meeting with the National Working Committee, NWC, led by the National Chairman, Nentawe Goshwen Yilwatda and State cordinators of the excercise.
Speaking with journalists after the meeting, Senator Ajibola disclosed that the digital registration was mandated by the party’s National Executive Council, NEC, at its December meeting.
He said NEC directed that all APC members across the country must be digitally registered before the end of January 2026, noting that the exercise is critical to strengthening the party’s internal organisation and operational efficiency.
Senator Basiru said: “Despite many States are yet to commence the exercise in full scale, more than two million Nigerians have already been digitally registered, verified and captured with their voter registration numbers.
“The National Chairman charged State coordinators on the need to carry out this exercise correctly and within stipulated timeline. Data is central to effective management, and this is more important for a political party that relies on mobilisation, organisation and consultation.”
The National Secretary also, stated that the NWC has been empowered to closely monitor the exercise across States of the federation, and to effect changes in States where coordinators are found to be underperforming.
“With increased momentum across the States, we are optimistic that by the next assessment, expected next week, the party’s digital membership strength could rise to between eight and nine million,” he said.
The Party leadership commended State Governors, Chairmen and other stakeholders for their commitment and resources, deployed so far, noting that identified challenges are being addressed through continuous engagement with relevant stakeholders.
The APC also called on party stakeholders at the States and grassroots levels, to take the registration exercise seriously, describing it as foundational to building a cohesive and organic party structure capable of mobilising support for the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
When asked to give a break down on States that made up the two million registration for he Party, in just one week of the excercise, the Paryy Secretary said; “You cannot reveal your trade secrets in public. The issue of breakdown is about trade secrets. I will give you an overview of the figure because if I begin to tell you now, somebody might say your party is strong in the southwest, it’s not strong in the northeast.
“We are a pan-Nigerian political Party and the strength of our Party, unlike previous other political Parties is that, we are strong in all the political regions of the country. So, the issue of State-by-State, Local Government, the demography in terms of male or female, in terms of occupational, are internal.
“In the areas where there are challenges, data of members and intending members will be manually taken and will be uploaded at the areas where there is access. So, all members of our Party, irrespective of their location, are susceptible to challenges by bandits, will have opportunity of registering,” he added.
