The Peoples Democratic Party on Monday kicked off the pilot scheme of its electronic registration and revalidation of members.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nThe first scheme of the registration will be in Anambra, Osun, Ekiti, Edo, Adamawa, and Sokoto States, among others.<\/p>\n

The National Chairman of the party, Mr Uche Secondus, speaking at the opening ceremony in Abuja, said the e-registration would deepen the process of internal democracy in the party.<\/p>\n

He said there was a need for parties to embrace the online registration of members.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe country must migrate from analogue to digital because data is key to development, proper planning and a country\u2019s ability to attract development from the global community.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a party, we cannot do otherwise; we are operating in social media space and cannot do without data,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Secondus added that online registration would provide Nigerians with a transparent platform to exercise democratic potentials, especially the youths.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIn the days of analogue, a person doesn\u2019t get registered if those in charge do not like the face; that person will be denied membership. All that has been eliminated,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Also speaking, Chairman, Board of Trustee of the party, Sen. Walid Jibrin, said e-registration was a demonstration by PDP that it was getting ready for the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n

He assured Nigerians that the crisis rocking the party would soon be resolved and that the party would come out stronger.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have spent so many sleepless nights in ensuring that we resolve the crisis within our party to make it great again and also take advantage of the failures of the opposition,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

The party\u2019s National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, in a remark, stated that more than a million Nigerians had indicated interest to join the party, less than 24 hours after the logo of the party was put online during the test run.<\/p>\n

The National Organising Secretary, retired Col. Austin Akobundu, said that sensitisation was ongoing to ensure that members across the country, including those at the grassroots, got registered.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
