LAGOS APC LAUNCHES ELECTRONIC MEMBERSHIP REGISTRATION
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially launched an electronic membership registration drive across all wards in the state.
The initiative, which began on Monday, will run until the end of January, targeting both existing members and newcomers to build a comprehensive digital membership database.
According to Lagos APC spokesperson Seye Oladejo, the e-registration exercise aims to strengthen internal democracy, improve the accuracy of party records, and prepare the party for upcoming electoral activities.
“The adoption of digital registration will help eliminate duplication and impersonation, ensuring that every member is accurately documented and verifiable,” Oladejo said.
He added that the initiative ensures equal recognition for both long-standing and new members, promoting transparency and curbing gatekeeping within the party.
Oladejo emphasized that maintaining a credible membership registry is crucial for conducting transparent congresses, primaries, and leadership selection processes. He also noted that leveraging technology will encourage participation from youths, professionals, and first-time political entrants while enhancing grassroots coordination and electoral readiness.
The APC spokesman called on all members across Lagos State to participate actively in the exercise, describing it as a collective responsibility critical to the party’s growth and democratic processes.
