Leaders of the Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, including Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the party’s former national chairman, have called on party members to participate in the ongoing electronic registration process in large numbers, citing it as a crucial tactic for winning the general elections in 2027.
Similarly, Inuwa Yahaya, the governor of Gombe State, stated that the e-membership registration and revalidation process is a calculated move to improve party organization, paperwork, and preparedness for the general elections in 2027.
Governor Yahaya gave a speech in Gombe to kick off the state’s exercise, while Ganduje and other party leaders addressed in Kano following a stakeholders’ meeting.
On January 5, 2026, APC started the e-registration process.
The stakeholders stated that the e-registration process is essential to creating a thorough, reliable, and verifiable membership database that will improve the party’s electoral performance in a statement released by Ganduje’s chief of staff, Comrade Muhammad Garba, following the Kano meeting.
The statement claims that Shafi’u Darma, the party’s organizing secretary and state e-registration coordinator, and Prince Abdullahi Abbas, the chairman of the Kano State APC, gave the meeting thorough updates on the exercise’s progress.
The stakeholders decided that all members must make sure they are registered and encourage others to take part in the process due to the party’s robust grassroots base in Kano.
In addition to enhancing voter outreach and mobilization in front of upcoming elections, they pointed out that Kano’s proactive participation in the e-registration process will solidify the party’s more than 15 years of loyalty and organizational power in the state.
The gathering also urged party members to stick together and back President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, emphasizing the importance of political unity in accomplishing party and national development goals.
Speaking during the gathering, Senator Barau Jibrin, the Deputy Senate President, asked party members to embrace harmony, peace, and understanding, stating that these were essential to solidifying the APC’s role as the biggest political party in Africa.
Senator Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila (Kano South), Hon. Kabir Abubakar Bichi, Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa, Prince Abdullahi Abbas, Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, and Hon. Murtala Sule Garo were among the government officials and party leaders who attended the meeting.
State Ministers Yusuf Abdullahi Ata and Dr. Mariya Mahmud Bunkure, former Deputy Governor Abdullahi Tijjani Gwarzo, and other party officials and elders were among the others.
In order to increase mobilization for the e-registration process, the stakeholders also suggested holding longer party meetings at different levels. They insisted that no eligible member be left unregistered as the party gets ready for the 2027 elections.
The e-membership registration and revalidation process in Gombe State, according to Governor Inuwa Yahaya, is a calculated move to improve party organization, paperwork, and preparedness for the general elections of 2027.
Yahaya noted that the e-registration program was created to give verifiable proof of party membership and to modernize the party’s framework during the exercise’s debut at the APC secretariat in his Ward Jeka Dafari.
“This new e-registration innovation guarantees that we have unambiguous evidence that attests to our membership and can be utilized as needed. Some people believe that we are starting too late. However, we have been working in silence in Gombe. We are now emerging because we have prepared ourselves on all fronts, from the ward to the state and local governments.
Yahaya urged party members and supporters to show more dedication and allegiance as the process progresses, expressing confidence that they will react quickly to the appeal.
“I want to take use of this chance to ask our members for greater support, devotion, and commitment so that we can advance together. “This is only the start of the process,” he stated.
The governor emphasized the APC’s hegemony in the state’s political system by pointing out that it has all 11 local government chairmanships and 23 of the 24 seats in the Gombe State House of Assembly.
He described the e-registration drive as a crucial step toward strengthening the party’s position ahead of next elections and urged party members to return to their wards and ensure complete participation in the activity.
The APC’s state chairman, Nitte Amangal, urged party members to return to their wards and make sure they were accurately recorded in the new digital system, saying that the exercise marked the official start of e-registration and revalidation in the state.
“In Gombe State, we are formally beginning the APC e-registration and revalidation process. Amangal stated, “I want everyone to go home and register.”
In the meantime, the APC stated that it intends to register more than 200,000 APC members during the exercise in the Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State.
Additionally, it expressed support for President Bola Tinubu’s and Enugu State Governor Dr. Peter Mbah’s 2027 reelection campaigns.
Dr. Eric Ogbonna Odo, the chairman of the APC’s Igbo-Etiti Council, said this on Tuesday when kicking off the APC e-registration process at the Council Headquarters in Ogbede.
Odo contended that the LGA would be able to seek greater development from the federal and state governments if the huge member was registered.
Our goal is to register at least 200,000 APC members in the Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area.
He stated, “This e-registration is a strategic move to reposition the party, deepen internal democracy, and give every member a sense of belonging.”
He claims that arrangements have been made to guarantee a seamless and trouble-free exercise, stressing that it would allow both new and existing members to formally identify with the party.
Additionally, Mrs. Uchenna Diyiokeh, the South East Zonal APC Women Leader, urged women to support and make sure the registration process is a tremendous success.
