Says Nigerians have rejected APC
From Ndubuisi Orji, Abuja
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Working Committee (NWC), led by Tanimu Turaki, on Wednesday said over 4.2 million Nigerians have registered with the party in its ongoing digital membership drive.
The National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, who stated this while speaking on the registration exercise, said the figure is an indication that Nigerians have rejected the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to him, Nigerians are dissatisfied with the President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government because of its dismal performance in office.
He said, “The APC knows that there are many Nigerians who are deeply disenchanted with their rudderless leadership and are only waiting for the ballot to teach them a lesson and send them out of power. This knowledge has made the APC paranoid, despite the uncountable power brokers in its party.”

He further said the huge number recorded in the digital registration exercise is also an indication that Nigerians still have confidence in the PDP, despite the defections of some of its leaders to the ruling party.
According to him, “despite the inconvenience of the very tight timeframe previously announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), we created the digital platform, mobilised human resources (most of whom offered as volunteers), and went into the nooks and crannies of our rural and urban areas where our members reside.
“The process, which was scheduled to last for three weeks, was, by every inch, herculean, but as it is said, nothing beats the prepared mind. Data on our portal indicates that our Ward Registration Agents, as at midnight of March 31, 2026, recorded a total of 4,264,675 (four million, two hundred and sixty-four thousand, six hundred and seventy-five) members.
“While our members are clearly more than this number, it is needful to commend those who have kept faith despite the current challenges we have faced in the recent past. This, for us, is a constant reminder of the responsibility that we carry to ensure that the political future of these millions of Nigerians is not put in jeopardy, nor their decision made to be subservient to another party, especially the All Progressives Congress.
“If they wanted to join the ruling party, they would have easily registered with them, with the numerous enticements that are usually concomitant with registering there.”
