The All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed reports that the ruling party has postponed the resumption of membership registration and revalidation exercise.
The ruling party in a statement issued by the National Secretary (Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Sen John Akpan Udoedeghe, described the reports it as fake and highly mischievous.
‘A “Notice” in circulation and ascribed to the APC CECPC National Secretary, Sen John J. Akpan Udoedeghe is fake and highly mischievous,’ the statement read.
‘The APC membership registration, revalidation and update exercise remains on course and commences as scheduled in the attached timetable.
‘As earlier announced, the CECPC has approved the constitution of State membership registration committees for the party’s nationwide membership registration, revalidation and update exercise. This will be followed by a train-the-trainer workshop,’ the statement read.
Whether the postponment is fake or original the truth remained that the APC registration of people as members was a cleared delusion and a total wasting of human and financial resources since the party obviously could not really know who really is a party member by its party constitution? So when would Nigeria abolished political culture of shameful wasting of funds on political activities that continue weakened economy?. APC will be compelled to publicly tell Nigerians the true position of the registered members when these members starts public tier of their membership cards by next year especially those elected APC Governors and legislatures and others
