Adamawa state Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, is set to begin comprehensive electronic registration (e-registration) of its members in the state.
Announcing the development at a summit in Yola Monday, the state Secretary, Raymond Chidama explained that the initiative was meant to boost the party’s electoral capacity before the 2027 general elections in the country.
Chidama announced that, the party will commence the exercise in December, with an ambitious target of enrolling at least 200,000 verified members within the first month of the exercise.
Chidama highlighted that, the move marks a major step toward building a credible, technology-driven membership database that will eliminate ghost entries and strengthen the party’s electoral capacity ahead of the 2027 general elections.
”This digital registration exercise will revolutionize how the party manages its membership records and uses data for planning, empowerment, and administrative decisions.
”The party has reviewed its registration requirements to make the process more transparent and electorally relevant.
”Initially, the National Identification Number (NIN) was the primary requirement for registration, but the party has now made the Permanent Voter Card (PVC) the key prerequisite for enrolling as a member.
”This shift is a deliberate move because, anyone without a voter card has no use to the party since the APC’s ultimate interest is building a membership base that translates directly into electoral strength,” he said.
