The All Progressives Congress has relaunched its electronic membership registration nationwide. According to a statement by the party's National Publicity Secretary, the exercise is now ongoing in all wards and designated centres across the country. Existing members are required to validate their membership details, while new applicants can now register through the digital platform. The party described the move as part of its effort to modernise membership processes and ensure accurate data collection. No deadline has been set for the registration exercise.
\nThe APC's return to digital registration reveals how little has changed in party administration since the last attempt faltered without public explanation. With the National Publicity Secretary announcing the exercise, it is unclear whether the party has fixed the technical or logistical issues that plagued the previous system. For Nigerian voters, a functional membership database matters only if it leads to internal democracy, not just a digital facade. This relaunch alone changes nothing about how the party selects candidates or handles dissent.
