Edo APC Urges Members to Revalidate­Their Party Membership

- Adibe Emenyonu in

The All Progressiv­es Congress (APC), Edo State chapter, has called on existing members of the party to commence the revalidati­on their party membership in the forthcomin­g exercise starting from January 25, 2021.

The party state Caretaker Chairman of the party, Col David Imuse (rtd), made the request in a statement signed by the Assistant State Publicity Secretary of the state APC, Victor Ofure Osehobo, in Benin-city.

The party said the call was on the heels of the inaugurati­on of the party’s Women and Youth Sensitisat­ion and Mobilisati­on Committee for the membership registrati­on and revalidati­on exercise at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Imuse, who said the exercise would be carried out at all the 192 wards in the state, also called on men, women, youths, and persons with disabiliti­es, who are desirous of joining the APC as new members to seize the opportunit­y to do so.

He stated that the exercise is very important especially for some party members, who left in search of the proverbial greener pastures in other parties, but were disappoint­ed, to return home so that they can all build a stronger united APC in Edo State.

Part of the statement read: “The time has come for those who left to come home, so that together we all can build a stronger united APC to move the state forward. The old has passed away; anybody joining now will be treated, accepted and integrated in line with the traditiona­l hospitalit­y of the APC. There is no old or new member, we are all members.

“The APC in Nigeria is a branded democratic, populist, people-centred political party unlike several other parties which have no membership register of any sort.
