The Chairman of the Local Government Council, Hon. Muhuyideen Abdullahi Umar, has set a precedent for APC members in the area by registering on the party’s e-registration platform.
He registered as Kargako 001 during the official launch of the APC Train the Trainer Workshop and the flag-off of the e-registration held at the Council Secretariat today.
This move is seen as a significant boost to the party’s efforts to strengthen its grassroots presence and to mobilize more members.
Hon. Umar, who is also the APC leader in the local government, expressed that he registered to demonstrate his commitment to the party’s digital transformation agenda.
He emphasized that the e-registration process is a crucial step towards building a modern, digitally driven, and people-centered party.
The Local Government Chairman promised to mobilize grassroots support for the e-registration exercise, urging all APC members to seize the opportunity to register and contribute to the party’s growth.
Hon. Umar assured that the party would provide the necessary support to ensure a smooth registration process and added that the exercise is open to all eligible members.
He also appealed to APC supporters and sympathizers to take the time to register and become full-fledged members of the party.
He emphasized that the e-registration process provides members with the opportunity to update their information, participate in party activities, and contribute to the party’s decision-making process.
The Local Government Council will collaborate closely with party leaders and stakeholders to ensure the success of this exercise.
Hon. Umar has reiterated his commitment to mobilizing more members for the APC in the area, emphasizing the importance of continuity for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani’s administration.
The workshop forms part of the APC’s broader digital transformation agenda, which includes the electronic registration of members.
This initiative is expected to enhance membership management, promote transparency, and increase accountability.
Governor Uba Sani, who also serves as the Coordinating Governor of the APC Northwest Zone, reaffirmed his commitment to digital governance, highlighting initiatives such as the Smart City Project and Open Government Partnership as examples of ongoing reforms.
Hon. Muhuyideen Abdullahi Umar stated that the workshop is a significant step toward achieving the party’s goals, asserting that every APC member must be visible, verifiable, and valuable.
He urged Ward Representatives to take the APC e-registration exercise to the grassroots level, stressing the need to reach out to party members and supporters in rural areas to ensure their participation in the e-registration process.
He noted that the e-registration exercise is a vital step toward building a modern, digitally driven party and emphasized that it is essential to register all eligible members.
Hon. Umar assured the Ward Representatives that the party would provide the necessary support to facilitate the exercise, including access to registration centers and equipment.
Similarly, Deputy Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Barrister Henry Danjuma Magaji, noted that this exercise is part of the party’s drive for innovation and data-driven leadership, aligning with President Tinubu’s vision for a smart, transparent, and accessible party.
A facilitator, Isaac Gandu Kaura, disclosed that the workshop features technical sessions on digital tools, data protection, and grassroots mobilization, aimed at equipping participants with the necessary skills to promote the party’s agenda.
