Former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has called on party members to rally behind Bola Tinubu amid the All Progressives Congress (APC) rollout of its electronic membership registration in Kogi State. The initiative aims to build a credible database, boost internal democracy, and accommodate surging interest in the party's progressive agenda.
Kogi APC officially kicked off the e-registration exercise across all wards, with Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo flagging it off at his Upogoro Ward in Okene Local Government Area on Monday. Ododo revalidated his membership digitally and urged massive participation, praising the platform for enabling seamless registration amid growing national enthusiasm for APC. Party leaders, stakeholders, and supporters gathered to witness the event, emphasizing unity and digital innovation in party management.
Bello, addressing the gathering, stressed unwavering support for Tinubu's reforms, crediting the president for economic stabilization, naira strengthening, easing food prices, and prioritizing agriculture. He described Tinubu's leadership as transformative, making APC Nigeria's most attractive party, and encouraged opening doors to new members as equals. Bello linked the exercise's success to Tinubu's bold policies, predicting rewards for the president's vision in upcoming elections.
Governor Ododo directed the highest political appointees in each local government to collaborate with council chairmen and stakeholders for widespread rollout, ensuring inclusivity and high turnout. APC State Chairman Abdullahi Bello highlighted the exercise's role in creating a reliable membership database to enhance electoral competitiveness and internal processes. The move aligns with national APC efforts to modernize operations ahead of key political milestones.
