PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metu, had at the weekend accused the APC of laying claims to a non-existent membership population, describing the targeted 28 million membership by the opposition party as phantom.
However, APC, in the press statement, said it was also not unaware of the efforts by the PDP to sabotage the registration process in Abia, Delta, Gombe and Rivers, among other states, hence the need to ensure that the people of the affected states are not disenfranchised.
The party urged all interested citizens who were yet to register to utilise the opportunity offered by the extension to do so.
“While we are aware that the good people of Nigeria have accepted our party, the APC, as the agent of the much-needed change that our country desperately needs at this time, we have apparently underestimated the number of those who are eager and willing to participate actively in the change process by joining the APC.
“Even with one day to go in the original registration schedule, we have exceeded the number of members we set out to register, and many more have reached out to us to give them the opportunity to join the APC train of change, hence our decision to extend the registration,” it said.
