Ruling party moves to digitise database, reopen e-registration on Monday

The All Progressives Congress (APC) will on Monday resume its electronic membership registration in all political wards across the country.

The move marks another phase in the ruling party’s long-term strategy to modernise its internal structures, expand its grassroots base and consolidate its numerical strength ahead of next year’s general election.

APC, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, urged existing supporters and would be new members to enrol on its digital platform.

‘We invite all party stakeholders, supporters and members, old and new, to participate in the APC membership electronic-registration exercise,’ the party said.

‘The exercise will be conducted in all wards nationwide. Existing members are expected to validate their membership, while new and intending members are encouraged to register and join the progressive family,’ it added.

According to the party’s leadership, strict eligibility criteria have been attached to the process to prevent duplicate records and verify identity. Applicants must be 18 years of age or older and possess a valid National Identification Number (NIN).

This development is part of a continuous push by the ruling APC to move away from analog paper registries to a fully verified digital database.

The APC previously rolled out digital membership updates and revalidation drives-notably capturing millions of verified members during phase updates earlier in 2026 in an effort to accurately map its electorate strength across Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.

Outlining the primary objectives of the renewed exercise, Morka emphasised that the platform is engineered to overhaul party administration and enhance internal democratic processes.

‘The E-Registration Exercise is designed to digitise the party’s membership register, ensure the integrity of membership records, enhance efficient access to membership data for planning and management decisions, promote internal democracy, and strengthen the Party’s commitment to democratic innovation in Nigeria,’ he noted.
