The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the extension of the party’s membership registration, revalidation and update exercise by three weeks. The exercise originally ended on March 31.
A statement by its National Secretary Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, James Akpanudoedehe, hinged the postponement on late commencement of the exercise in some states.
“The audit of the reports received from the national membership registration, revalidation and update committee, states’ registration committees and that of our situation room indicates that most states for varied reasons, started late, and require additional time to conclude the exercise.
“An avalanche of applications from critical stakeholders, including all states caretaker chairmen, for an extension of time to capture Nigerians who are still desirous of joining the fold of the progressives. The caretaker committee under the leadership of Governor Mai Mala Buni had done everything possible to keep to the earlier timeline, however, it has become imperative to extend the duration of this very important party activity. Consequently, the CECPC has approved the recommendation of the national committee for membership registration, revalidation and update to extend the duration of the exercise for three weeks,” Akpanudoedehe said.
