This decision was arrived at during the just concluded meeting of the National Executive Committee of the Party which took place at the party&#8217;s National Secretariat in Abuja on Monday, 10th March 2014.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The approval of the March 17th date follows extensive preparations and sensitization for the exercise which is to take place between 8. a.m. and 5 p.m. everyday from Monday, 17th March to Sunday 23rd March 2014 simultaneously at each of the 8,812 wards throughout the states of the federation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Distribution of registration materials, including membership cards, membership registers, pens, markers and other sundry items is already underway at the National Secretariat of the Party. Registration materials are to reach all states of the federation by Thursday, 13th March and all Registration Centres in the wards by Sunday, 16th March 2014.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It will be recalled that PDM had launched its Online Membership Registration at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pdm.ng\/\">www.pdm.ng<\/a> on 15th September, 2013 in Abuja merely a month after the Party was registered by the Independent National Electoral Commission. The online membership registration, which is still ongoing, was received by Nigerians with excitement and high expectations and is the first of its kind in Africa. More than than two million members have already registered online.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The manual registration of members is an extension of the entire membership registration exercise meant to give Nigerians from all nooks and cranny of the country an opportunity to be part of one of the fastest growing political parties in the country. Members who registered online are also to collect their membership cards at their wards during the manual registration exercise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Party called on all Nigerians of voting age to seize this opportunity and register en masse to provide the electorate with variety and more choices, which is what democracy is all about.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Signed<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Ahmed Rufai Abubakar<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">National Publicity Secretary<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT No. 4 Paraguay Close, off Panama Street, Minister\u2019s Hill, Maitama, Abuja. 080826782333 pdmnigeria@gmail.com \u00a0 PRESS STATEMENT \u00a0PDM APPROVES MARCH 17 TH FOR MANUAL MEMBERSHIP REGISTRATION \u00a0Peoples&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24149,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
