Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has called on All Progressives Congress (APC) members to participate in the party’s electronic registration exercise, saying it’s essential for confirming party membership.
Speaking Tuesday after registering at Ward 3, St. Stephen’s Primary School, Adeniji Adele on Lagos Island, the governor emphasized that the nationwide exercise running throughout January validates both existing and new members through a digital platform.
Sanwo-Olu encouraged members, especially young people, to take part in the free and straightforward process. The registration is happening simultaneously across Lagos State’s 245 wards and other parts of Nigeria to digitally capture members and strengthen the party’s database.
The process requires members to provide their National Identification Number (NIN) for verification, confirm personal details, and take a photograph. Upon completion, registrants receive a printed temporary membership slip.
“The APC e-registration exercise is what will validate and confirm that you are a card-carrying member of our party. Every party member who truly wants to be called a member of the APC should take it seriously. This is the minimum you need to show sincerity and commitment to the party. Nobody is asking for anything—just come, register and collect your slip,” Sanwo-Olu said.
The governor noted that initial technical issues at his ward had been resolved and the process was now running smoothly. Each of Lagos State’s 245 wards has been equipped with two tablets, a printer, internet connectivity, and backup power to ensure seamless registration.
Sanwo-Olu urged members to find time for the exercise, which takes only five to ten minutes once details are provided. He added that the digital approach reflects the APC’s commitment to modernization and transparency while strengthening its membership database ahead of future political activities.
