APC mobilises state chairmen, members for e-membership registration

…as Omisore picks forms for 2026 Osun gov’ship election

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has intensified efforts to mobilise members and leaders across the states for its ongoing electronic membership registration exercise.

At the opening of the APC e-Membership Registration Train-the-Trainers Workshop for state and FCT chairmen in Abuja on Thursday, Sulaiman Argungu, the party’s National Organising Secretary, expressed concern over the slow pace of participation in the exercise nationwide.

Argungu explained that the workshop was aimed at equipping state party chairmen with a detailed and practical understanding of the new digital registration process, urging them to take full ownership of the exercise to ensure its success.

“This session follows a series of workshops held across the six geopolitical zones, where state organising secretaries and representatives from each Senatorial District participated.

“Today’s programme ensures that our state chairmen, custodians of party structures at the grassroots grasp both the technical and strategic aspects of this initiative”, he noted.

He described the e-registration project as a major reform intended to transform party administration, noting that it goes beyond a mere bureaucratic task.

According to him, the exercise aims to create a credible, verifiable, and technology-driven database of party members nationwide, strengthen transparency and accountability, improve communication between the national secretariat and local chapters, and serve as a reliable tool for future congresses, primaries, and elections.

Argungu added that the digital registration system would also enhance mobilisation efforts ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Bawa Rijau, the party’s National Vice Chairman (North Central), who represented Nentawe Yilwatda, APC National Chairman, described the workshop as an important step toward strengthening the party’s internal systems and positioning it as a model of innovation.

“The leadership of our great party attaches immense importance to this initiative.

“For the APC to remain a truly progressive and people-oriented party, it must embrace digital transformation, not as an option, but as a necessity for growth, credibility, and sustainability”, he said.

In the meantime, Iyiola Omisore, former Deputy Governor of Osun State and immediate past National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has officially picked his party’s Governorship nomination and expression of interest forms ahead of the 2026 Osun State Governorship election.

Omisore announced the development on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Thursday, where he confirmed that he was the first among 13 aspirants to obtain the forms on the first day of the exercise.

He noted that his action generated excitement among party members and supporters across Osun State, many of whom described it as a sign of his readiness and commitment to contest the election.

Speaking after collecting the forms, Omisore said his decision to run for governor was driven by responsibility rather than personal ambition.
