” We are mobilizing our people for the purpose of registration. We want to have APC member at least in every household. We are opening our doors to other party leaders and members in Lagos to join us. There are members of the PDP who have been showing desire to join the APC. This is their opportunity and the party hopes they will embrace this golden opportunity” Balogun stated.
Earlier in his speech, the head revalidation / registartion commiittee for Lagos state, Dr Muhammed Bashir noted that Lagos APC has remained a shinning light for the party across Nigeria.
Bashir urged all the stakeholders in the state to work for the progress of the party by mobilizing every residents to join the party as the future hold great values for them.
According to Bashir, the registration exercise is not a do or die affairs but an opportunity to bring in more members to the party.
The meeting afforded some stakeholders to suggest ways to improve on the exercise.
Hon. Biodun Falake, member representing Ikeja Constituency at the House of Representative noted that the form signed by President Mohammed Buhari last Saturday appears not to make provision for old members revalidation.
” Mr chairman sir, please I see the form as signed by our leader, President Buhari last Friday has no column for old members revalidation. That form makes it looks like we are all new members of the party. I suggest we take a look at this properly” Faleke noted.
