GOV ENO FLAGS OFF APC MEMBERSHIP REVALIDATION/REGISTRATION IN AKWA BOM .. seeks support for President Tinubu, Akpabio
Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has kicked off the membership revalidation/registration exercise of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, as he validated his membership at Ibiakpan Obotim Ward II, Nsit Ubium Local Government Area.
The Governor who secured the registration number 001 in the party register, called on the party faithful and intending members to register at their different wards.
"This exercise became necessary in order to validate and revalidate the authentic members of our Party.
"All members and intending members of the Party are directed to get registered at their respective Wards to prove their true membership and loyalty to the Party," he stressed.
According to the Governor, the Party's membership validation/registration exercise will go on for a period of one month before it will be temporarily closed.
"At the end of the validation exercise, the new membership register will be recognized to serve as the authentic working document of the Party.
"So, all Party faithful and supporters that progressively moved with me to the APC are expected to be fully involved in this registration and validation exercise in their respective Wards for us to formally know their stance and alignment with the party," he said.
Fielding questions from Government House Correspondents shortly after the registration, the Governor expressed satisfaction with the smooth conduct of the exercise and charged members of the Party to be patient and orderly during the registration process.
"I feel good that I have validated my membership in the Party in my Ward. It is what every party member is expected to do to update at this time.
"I feel good to join the Party. It is a deliberate calculation and a strategic move to link us to the centre in the interest of our State.
"It is a decision to fully support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to continue with his laudable economic transformation of Nigeria, and also support our illustrious son, the Senate President, Chief Godswill Akpabio, to continue with his sterling leadership at the Senate.
The Governor therefore, enjoined the people to continue to work in unity, peace, and love for a united Akwa Ibom, reiterating that a united people will always remain a progressive people.
"As no one is able to break a bunch of broom, which is our Party's symbol, let us continue to be united in oneness of purpose, common growth and greatness as a unique people of one ancestry.
"Let no one divide us and set us up against ourselves. Make sure you are registered and the Party membership ticket issued to you.
The Party's membership registration exercise at Ibiakpan Obotim Ward II witnessed a large turnout of members and would-be members of the APC who were enthusiastic and excited to participate in the exercise.
