The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the African Democratic Congress (ADC) of being terrified by the massive membership registration in its ongoing electronic-registration exercise.
The party rubbished the ADC's allegation that civil servants were being pressured to participate in its E-Registration exercise.
"That claim is entirely false and baseless, and seeks to cast a shadow over the cutting-edge and pathbreaking digitisation of our Party’s membership register," National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said in a statement on Monday.
"It is a part of ADC’s disinformation campaign that included the fabrication and circulation of a fake “APC membership slip”, purporting that a notorious terrorist had registered as a member of APC.
"Inspired by visible gains and impact of the Renewed Hope Agenda, millions of Nigerians have registered and continue to register, voluntarily and enthusiastically, as members of our Party, compelling our leadership to yield to popular demand to extend the period of registration from January 31 to February 8, 2026."
Morka said the ADC is intimidated by the APC Party’s phenomenal success in its E-Registration exercise, for obvious reasons. However, that cannot justify concocting and spreading lies to smear the exercise.
"While the ADC continues to fumble and peddle falsehood, our great Party remains focused on its onward march as Africa’s standard-bearer of digital and democratic innovation," HE SAID.
