The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State, on Monday, officially commenced its electronic membership registration exercise across the state, in compliance with directives from the party’s national headquarters.
The exercise was flagged off by the Governor of Kogi State, Ahmed Usman Ododo.
Former Governor of the state, Yahaya Bello, was electronically registered at his Agasa Ward in Okene Local Government Area, in an event that attracted a large turnout of party loyalists, including the state Chairman of the APC, Hon. Abdullahi Bello.
Speaking shortly after his registration, Bello described the exercise as timely and commendable, noting that it would strengthen internal party cohesion and improve direct engagement between the party and its members.
He described the APC as a party for all Nigerians and commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his ongoing efforts to reposition the country for sustainable growth and development. Bello applauded the President’s resolve to make Nigeria globally competitive, particularly in the areas of economic development and human capital advancement.
Urging party members to participate actively in the e-membership registration exercise, Bello explained that the initiative would directly connect registered members to government interventions and empowerment programmes under the Renewed Hope administration of President Tinubu.
“Let me commend everyone for turning out for this exercise today. I want to assure you that our leader and President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has good plans for the people of this great nation and he will continue to do more for the people.
“The requirement of the National Identification Number (NIN) in the e-registration process shows that members are directly linked to the party leadership and can be reached without intermediaries for empowerment and other benefits. I urge you to encourage members of your families to participate in this exercise,” he said.
Bello further urged party members to take the forthcoming elections seriously, reiterating that the APC remains the dominant political party in Kogi State. He called on the people to sustain the party’s political fortune by voting for APC candidates at all levels in future elections.
He acknowledged that development often comes with challenges, urging Nigerians to be patient and to continue supporting the President’s reform agenda, which he described as well-intentioned and focused on long-term national progress.
Bello also expressed gratitude to party stakeholders in the state for their continued support, commending the state party executive, local government chairmen, grassroots leaders, party ambassadors, and all committed supporters of the APC across Kogi State.
Earlier, the State Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Bello, informed the gathering that following the registration of the Governor and the former Governor, the e-registration exercise would continue across all the 21 local government areas of the state.
He appealed for cooperation, understanding, and prompt participation by party members to ensure the successful completion of the exercise within the timeframe set by the party’s national leadership.
The event was witnessed by party executives, local government chairmen, local government party chairmen, and numerous party loyalists from across the area.
