The Ekiti State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged its members to actively participate in the ongoing national electronic registration exercise, describing full involvement as a true test of loyalty and commitment to the party’s future electoral success.
The appeal was made on Monday by the State Coordinator of the e-registration exercise and Commissioner for Youth Development, Hon. Gold Adesola Adedayo, during a meeting with senatorial coordinators and local government supervisors in Ado Ekiti.
Adedayo noted that the exercise, initiated last year with the training of ward-level agents under the Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda-led National Working Committee, is crucial for the party’s victories in upcoming polls.
He outlined that registration will run daily from 8:00am to 6:00pm across all 177 wards in the state, targeting members aged 18 and above who possess valid INEC voter cards and National Identification Numbers (NIN).
The commissioner charged supervisors to vigorously mobilise members at the grassroots and provide necessary guidance to ensure seamless participation without obstacles.
Emphasising the importance of sustained membership drives for any political party’s viability, Adedayo said the exercise will help the APC accurately determine its genuine support base and membership strength ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He particularly highlighted its relevance to Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s re-election bid in the June 20, 2026 governorship election, urging members to see the programme as essential.
Adedayo advised those unfamiliar with the process to contact the State Working Committee or designated ward supervisors for assistance.
“We should be thankful to the National Working Committee of our great party for coming up with an electronic registration exercise for all members,” he said.
“This is in line with international best practices, and the APC is laying a solid foundation for true democracy and party politics as the largest party on the African continent.”
He explained that trained ward agents will reach out to members through their respective ward chairmen for a coordinated process, and will be available to address questions or complaints.
“This exercise is very important as it will strengthen our party’s structures and ensure proper documentation of members at the grassroots,” Adedayo added.
Echoing the call, Ekiti State APC Chairman, Barr. Sola Elesin, led by example on Monday by successfully completing his electronic registration.
Elesin encouraged all members to follow suit, stating that active participation demonstrates loyalty, commitment, and readiness to contribute to the party’s growth and electoral triumphs.
He stressed that proper registration will affirm members as bona fide progressives while bolstering the party’s internal structures and data accuracy for future elections.
“As loyal and committed party members, let us all come out and participate actively. APC is moving forward,” Elesin declared.
