Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo state, has appealed to all party leaders at the ward and local government levels to give maximum support and provide the necessary mobilization to the ongoing membership e-registration exercise.

Aiyedatiwa, made the appeal while declaring open the 2-day training programme for registration officials.

The Special Adviser to the Governor of Ondo State on Legislative and Party Affairs, Hon. Kolawole Babatunde, in a statement in Akure, said that their support would ensure the actualisation of the objectives of party’s National Leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the state leader, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

He noted that the exercise was part of the deliberate efforts to strengthen the partys internal structure and institutional capacity.

According to him ” The objective of the exercise, among others, is to produce a reliable, credible and error-free membership register that will aid effective planning, coordination and decision-making at all levels of the party.

“The e-registration will also ensure proper documentation, revalidation of existing members and seamless onboarding of new members into the APC family.

He emphasized the critical importance attached to the e-registration exercise by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, even long before his emergence as President.

The Governor noted that the exercise reflects the progressive ideals of transparency, accountability and data-driven planning that define the APC.

He further reaffirmed that, as the leader of the party in Ondo State, the APC remains one united family, irrespective of diverse interests within the party, stressing that collective unity and discipline are essential to sustaining the party’s dominance and electoral success.

To ensure smooth implementation, the State Coordinator, Senatorial Administrators, Local Government Supervisors and Ward Agents drawn from across the 203 wards of Ondo State have been successfully trained.

In addition, re-training programmes are currently ongoing to onboard more Ward Agents, with the aim of accelerating and deepening the reach of the e-registration exercise across all communities.

There is a strong need for Ondo State to take the lead among progressive states by ensuring massive participation in this exercise.

The governor said that existing members are expected to have their membership revalidated, while new members are warmly welcomed to join the APC as we continue to build a strong, inclusive and people-oriented party.

He urged” all existing members of the party to revalidate their membership while intending members are also enjoined to register with any of the Ward Agents in their various wards as the party remains one and united under the leadership of the Governor, Hon. (Dr.) Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa.

“The onboarding of more Ward Agents is to make the registration process faster and less burdensome.

“All party members and those desirous of joining the party are hereby enjoined to participate actively and adhere strictly to the registration deadline of 31st January, 2026.

He declared that ” Together, we shall strengthen our party and consolidate the progressive vision for Ondo State and Nigeria at large
