The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue State, Chief Benjamin Omale, has said the massive participation of members of the party in the ongoing e-registration will boost opportunities for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Hyacinth Alia.
Omale stated this while flagging off the Benue APC membership e-registration in his Ohimini Local Government Area of the state.
According to him, massive participation in the ongoing exercise will open many ways and opportunities to members, especially for the re-election of Governor Hyacinth Alia and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu come 2027.
The chairman, who noted that the exercise is not a routine party activity, described it as a call to duty, a call to loyalty and a call for the future of the APC in Benue State.
He added that it is the foundation upon which members’ political strength, electoral victory and internal democracy will be built, warning that any stakeholder who ignores the exercise is knowingly or unknowingly weakening the party they claim to be serving, both at the state and federal levels.
Omale said, “In today’s political environment, data is power. A party that does not know its members cannot protect them, mobilise them or defend their votes.
“E-registration gives us a verified, credible, digital membership register that will determine who votes in party primaries, who is recognised as a member, who qualifies for appointments, and who the party stands with during elections.

“Let me be very clear, if your name is not in the APC e-registration database, you are politically invisible.”
Omale stressed further that the exercise will determine who chooses the party’s candidates as well as who will represent the APC at every level, who benefits from APC governance and who will defend the APC during elections.
He said no stakeholder, no leader and no politician, no matter how powerful, can stand outside this process, adding that it is not about technology but about control of the party’s future.
“Whoever controls the membership controls the party. And that control must belong to the APC faithful – not political opportunists, not outsiders and not infiltrators.
“This is why His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Benue State, has given this exercise his full support. He understands that a strong APC must be built on a strong, credible and verifiable membership structure. And as stakeholders, we must match that vision with commitment.
“Every Ward Chairman, every LG Chairman, every party leader, every elected and appointed official must take ownership of this exercise, mobilise your people, register them, supervise them and defend the process.
“This is the moment to prove who is truly APC and who is just wearing the APC name. Let history record that when the future of APC in Benue was at stake, its leaders stood up, mobilised their people and secured the party. Together, we will build a party that cannot be rigged out, cannot be infiltrated and cannot be defeated.”
