APC registers 2.5 million members in Lagos

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has registered about 2.5 million members in Lagos. The registration and revalidation exercise which started in February ended on Wednesday.

Chairman of the APC Lagos Registration Supervisory Committee, Dr Muhammad Bashiru Ruwangodiya, said about 2.5 million members were registered during the exercise across the 20 Local Government Areas in the state.

Speaking during the closing and presentation of Recommendation Letters to the supervisors, Dr Ruwangodiya, said the exercise was successful and hitch-free.

“So far, so good; members were registered and it was a complete success. We have no record of assault or wherever. It was a fruitful and wonderful exercise that I will live to remember. I learnt a lot of things; I met a lot of people, different stakeholders that were committed to the party, very responsible and ready to move the party forward,” he said.

He hailed the commitment of stakeholders and members of the party, saying APC was truly born and nurtured in Lagos state.

He commended Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for setting a standard structure for the party, noting “I have been hearing and reading about him. My perception on this exercise in Lagos actually exposed me to the positive realities about Asiwaju Tinubu.

“He is a person that has set a superior record in terms of administration in Lagos State, politically and otherwise. The developmental programmes that have been set for the state by Asiwaju are still going, courtesy of the kind of mentorship and motivation he normally gives his own people. No wonder this state is a mini Nigeria.”
