The All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the recent outburst by the
African Democratic Congress (ADC) over its membership registration was done out of fear.
According to APC, the ADC was terrified by the massive membership registration, hence the allegation that civil servants were being pressured to participate in the Party’s e-Registration exercise.
APC, in a statement on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary,
Felix Morka, stated that the claim was entirely false and baseless, and seeks to cast a shadow over the cutting-edge and pathbreaking digitization of our Party’s membership register.
The ruling party said that the allegation was a part of ADC’s disinformation campaign that included the fabrication and circulation of a fake “APC membership slip”, purporting that a notorious terrorist had registered as a member of APC.
“Inspired by visible gains and impact of the Renewed Hope Agenda, millions of Nigerians have registered and continue to register, voluntarily and enthusiastically, as members of our Party, compelling our leadership to yield to popular demand to extend the period of registration from January 31 to February 8, 2026.
“Clearly, the ADC is intimidated by the phenomenal success of our Party’s E-Registration exercise, for obvious reasons. However, that cannot justify concocting and spewing lies in an attempt to smear the exercise.
“While the ADC continues to fumble and peddle falsehood, our great Party remains focused on its onward march as Africa’s standard-bearer of digital and democratic innovation,” the party said in the statement.
