APGA embarks on membership registration in Ebonyi

The  All Progressives Grand Aliance (APGA) says it has embarked on membership and bio data capturing across the 171 wards of Ebonyi ahead of the 2023 general elections.

The State Chairman of the party, Mr Ricky Okorouka disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abakaliki.

He said the registration became necessary to upgrade the party’s membership registration in line with Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) recommendations in view of the party’s primary election.

“We need to upgrade to the latest ICT acceptable arrangement of INEC, because we were made to understand that INEC would be involving this arrangement in various activities such as party primaries.

“So, if the name is not properly captured in their data base, it might not be possible for someone to be part of the primary election, that is why we are embarking on it,” he said.

The chairman further assured the party’s readiness towards winning the governorship position in the state in 2023 as well as other positions.

According to him, the party is well repositioned in the 13 local government areas in the state.

“We have had a very wide consultation across the three zones in the state and have met with the major stakeholders ahead of the elections,” he said.

On Anambra election, Okorouka noted that the people of southeast are determined to domisticate the party in the region.

“That will give the party a better opportunity to win elections in Ebonyi come 2023,” the chairman added. (NAN)
