Chairman, National Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC ongoing membership registration, revalidation and update exercise and Governor of Niger State, Abubakar Sani Bello alongside the National Secretary of the Party’s Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, CECPC John Akpanudoedehe met with Delta State stakeholders to resolve issues with the registration exercise in the state.
Governor Bello in a chat with journalists after the stakeholders meeting at the APC National Secretariat on Thursday said it’s not unusual in a political process that you have differences.
“Delta state is an important state for us in the South – South and we have been able to agree on workable methods to move the party forward. So I hope that going forward, we wont have to come here from Delta state. They should be able to resolve their issues back home.
“I believe APC in Delta state is intact. I also believe APC in Delta state will grow bigger. So I would like to appreciate and thank the stakeholders from the state for their contributions to this meeting. We had a very fruitful meeting and by God’s grace, the issues have been resolved once and for all.”
When asked about the general assessment of the nationwide membership registration exercise, Gov Bello said:
“The registration excercise is going on well. I was in Ogun State. I have been receiving reports from other zones. The major complaints are that the 100 forms per unit is too small. But, I have made a complain to the national headquarters and more materials will be provided for the local governments or units that need more materials.
“So, basically nobody will be left behind for any struggle or any problem. Even after two weeks when we are done, we will continue.”
In attendance at the stakeholders meeting were national membership registration committee members; Hon. Stella Okotete, Barr. Ismail Ahmed and Delta APC stakeholders: Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo SAN; Great Ovedje Ogboru; Olorogun O’tega Emerhor; Delta APC Caretaker Chairman, Prophet Jones Erue, among others.
