The All Progressives Congress, APC, has extended registration of members and revalidation exercise of the party till the end of March.
The exercise was initially scheduled to end on February 23.
Sen. John J. Akpanudoedehe Ph.D, the National Secretary Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the APC, made this known in a statement on Sunday.
He said the registration will now end on 31st March, due to demands across the states for an extension in order to accommodate all prospective members,
Part of the statement read: “We have received a nationwide acknowledgement of the increasing popularity of the APC, and most especially in states that are being governed by the opposition party. Biases in some sections might have made attempts to rubbish the good works of the President Muhammadu Buhari Administration, but the strong, impressive response of the public in the ongoing registration exercise has spoken the true minds of Nigerians and has put paid to the false narratives of party’s critics, cynics and the opposition.
“In response to the demands across the states for an extension to allow accommodation of all prospective members, the Party has therefore extended the nationwide membership registration exercise by a period of three (3) weeks.
“This extension will shift the end of the exercise to Wednesday 31st March, 2021.
“Additional disbursement of registration materials to meet up with the demands reported in most states has however commenced and will continue until the material needs of all the affected states are adequately met.”
The statement also directed all the committee members to remain in their places of assignment as additional disbursement of registration materials to meet up with the demands reported in most states is in progress.
