The All Progressives Congress (APC) Membership Registration/Revalidation and Update Exercise which was initially scheduled to terminate on March 31st, 2021, has been extended for 3- weeks.
A release signed by Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe, Ph.D., the National Secretary, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) APC, disclosed that all efforts of the committee, under the aegis of His Excellency, Hon. Mai Mala Buni to stick to the earlier timeline had proven futile, hence the need for the extension.
According to the release, the audit of the reports received from: the National Membership Registration, Revalidation and Update Committee; the States’ Registration Committees; and that of our Situation Room indicate as follows: (1) Most states for varied reasons, started late, and require additional time to conclude the exercise.
(2) An avalanche of applications from critical stakeholders (including all States Caretaker Chairmen) for an extension of time to capture Nigerians who are still desirous of joining the fold of the progressives.
It read:
“The Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) under the leadership of His Excellency, Hon. Mai Mala Buni had done everything possible to keep to the earlier timeline, however it has become imperative to extend the duration of this very important party activity.
“Consequently, the CECPC has approved the recommendation of the National Committee for the Membership Registration, Revalidation and Update to extend the duration of the exercise for three weeks”, it concluded.
