In accordance with orders from the party’s national headquarters, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State formally started its electronic membership registration drive on Monday.
Ahmed Usman Ododo, the governor of Kogi State, initiated the exercise.
In an occasion that drew a sizable crowd of party supporters, including the state chairman of the APC, Hon. Abdullahi Bello, former governor Yahaya Bello was electronically registered at his Agasa Ward in Okene Local Government Area.
Speaking soon after registering, Bello called the process “timely and commendable,” pointing out that it will increase direct engagement between the party and its members and strengthen internal party cohesion.
He praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his continuous efforts to reposition the nation for sustainable growth and development and characterized the APC as a party for all Nigerians. Bello praised the President’s determination to make Nigeria competitive on the world stage, especially in the fields of human capital development and economic growth.
Bello urged party members to actively participate in the e-membership registration process, explaining that it will immediately link registered members to government interventions and empowerment initiatives under President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope administration.
“I want to thank everyone for coming to this exercise today. I want to reassure you that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, our president and leader, has excellent intentions for the people of this wonderful country and will keep doing more for them.
“The National Identification Number (NIN) requirement in the e-registration procedure demonstrates that members are directly connected to the party leadership and can be contacted for benefits like empowerment without the need for middlemen. “I implore you to encourage your family members to take part in this exercise,” he urged.
Bello emphasized that the APC is still the leading political party in Kogi State and advised party members to take the upcoming elections seriously. He urged voters to support APC candidates at all levels in upcoming elections in order to maintain the party’s political success.
He urged Nigerians to be patient and to keep supporting the President’s reform plan, which he described as well-intentioned and focused on long-term national improvement, while acknowledging that development frequently involves difficulties.
Additionally, Bello thanked the state party executive, local government chairmen, grassroots leaders, party ambassadors, and all devoted APC supporters in Kogi State for their ongoing support.
Abdullahi Bello, the State Chairman of the APC, had earlier told the assembly that the e-registration process will continue in all 21 local government areas of the state after the governor and previous governor were registered.
In order to successfully complete the exercise within the time constraint established by the party’s national leadership, he urged party members to cooperate, be understanding, and participate promptly.
Party officials, local government chairmen, local government party chairmen, and many local party supporters were present at the ceremony.
