The All Progressives Congress (APC) has implemented e-registration to accurately determine the true number of its members nationwide. Mr. Suleiman Argungu, the National Organising Secretary of the party, made this announcement during a courtesy visit by Mrs. Ronke Soyombo, the National Director of the APC Professional Women Council.
“Between 2022 and 2023, it was claimed that our party had a certain number of registered members and supporters, which we believe is not accurate compared to the election results,” Argungu stated. He cited the outcome of the recent presidential election as a key example, highlighting the need for reliable membership data.
The party’s new e-registration initiative aims to provide a clear picture of membership distribution across wards, local governments, and all 36 states. “We want to be certain of what we have on the ground,” Argungu emphasized.
He also expressed support for organizations like the APC Professional Women Council, encouraging their continued efforts. The visit, he noted, would help the National Working Committee understand challenges at various levels of the party.
Argungu urged women to mobilize for the upcoming e-registration, addressing the disparity in male and female participation during primary elections. “You must mobilize to achieve a significant presence to ensure victory,” he said, encouraging the council to register a notable number of women.
Mrs. Soyombo called for greater involvement of women in the forthcoming governorship elections in Edo and Ondo states. “We seek the inclusion of women in key committees for these elections,” she said, advocating for capable members to serve on critical committees and support women at the grassroots level.
