Fresh Hope For Lai Mohammed As APC Extends Membership Registration In Kwara

The political durability of Alhaji Lai Mohammed and his associates in the Kwara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC was boosted on Tuesday after the Caretaker Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the party approved the continuation of membership registration and revalidation in the state.

The party also extended the registration in Imo, Ogun and Rivers States.

The decision for extension of the exercise in the affected states was contained in a statement by the CECPC Secretary, Senator John James Akpanudoehede in Abuja on Tuesday.

Associates of Alhaji Lai Mohammed had complained of having been marginalized in the registration exercise and that they were sidelined in the registration exercise that was recently concluded.

Alhaji Lai Mohammed who last Saturday opened a parallel secretariat of the party is embroiled with Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq over the structure of the party and had alleged that their supporters were marginalized in the registration exercise.

Akpanudoedehe said the extension followed the recommendation of the party’s Membership Registration Appeals Committee.

The statement reads: “Following the recommendation of the Membership Registration Appeals Committee, the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has approved the continuation of the Party’s membership registration, revalidation and register update exercise in Imo, Kwara, Ogun, and Rivers states.

“With this approval, the membership registration, revalidation, and register update exercise in the four states will continue for two weeks.

“Those who have not been registered in these States can purchase forms for congresses, party office elections, and conventions. For congresses in Rivers State, all those who have purchased forms in the past will be allowed to participate in the congresses on the presentation of the bank teller as proof of payment.”

The Secretary as such assured party members that registration materials have been adequately deployed to the listed states and warned that “any attempt to deprive intending registrants will be dealt with accordingly in line with the provisions of the APC constitution and guidelines for the exercise.

“All Nigerians who are desirous of joining the progressive fold are welcome to take advantage of this window and register as members of the APC.”

The development is bound to bring cheers for associates of Lai Mohammed who were beginning to ponder their options outside the APC.
