The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State has launched an electronic registration and re-registration exercise aimed at expanding its membership base, strengthening internal unity, and positioning the party for future political contests.
Gatekeepers News reports that the exercise was officially flagged off on Wednesday by Governor Dapo Abiodun, who described it as a strategic step to deepen members’ commitment and consolidate the APC’s standing as Africa’s largest political party.
Represented by his deputy, Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele, the governor said the initiative would allow new members to join what he described as the “winning party,” while also creating a transparent, credible, and technology-driven membership database.
According to Abiodun, the electronic system is designed to eliminate manipulation and fraudulent practices, improve accuracy, and ensure efficient data management in line with global best practices for political party administration.
He urged party leaders, stakeholders, and members at all levels to mobilise supporters across the state to ensure widespread participation in the exercise.
“This is a collective responsibility. Our leaders, ward executives, and field officers must work together to deliver a seamless, inclusive, and hitch-free registration process. The era of fake or inflated membership figures is over,” the governor said.
Also speaking, the Ogun APC Chairman, Chief Yemi Sanusi, described the e-registration as a unifying process meant to strengthen the party rather than serve individual interests.
“This registration is not about personal gain; it is about consolidating our strength as a party and positioning APC for continued leadership and electoral success,” Sanusi said.
He called on party leaders in the state’s 236 wards to give full support to the exercise, assuring members that additional registration centres and personnel would be deployed where necessary to accommodate prospective members within the available timeframe.
Sanusi stressed that no genuine supporter or intending member of the APC would be excluded from the process.
The flag-off ceremony also featured the electronic registration of top party leaders, including the Deputy Governor; the Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Oludaisi Elemide; the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Tokunbo Talabi; and the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Dr. Toyin Taiwo, underscoring the leadership’s commitment to the exercise.
Party members and supporters have been urged to participate actively and mobilise others as the APC continues to build what it described as a stronger, more inclusive, and forward-looking political organisation in Ogun State.
