Kano APC members heading towards four million: Ganduje

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano says the All Progressives Congress has registered about 2.5 million members in the party’s membership registration and revalidation exercise in the state.
According to the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Abba Anwar, the governor disclosed this during the sixth APC stakeholders’ meeting in Kano.
“We are all aware that the first set of 100 registers sent to polling units were exhausted. The second set of 200 per polling unit has also been exhausted. The registration is heading towards three or four million members in the state. Just look at the trend since we started,” he said.
The governor also urged those in charge of the registration to ensure fairness.
“There should be no marginalisation. Register all those who wish to be registered as bona fide members of our great party. That is part of the wisdom why we have been succeeding as a party,” he added.
The Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Murtala Garo, explained that the APC national headquarters gave the state 100 bundles of registers for each of the 8,090 polling units in Kano.
“The state demanded additional 200 bundles per polling unit. The additional 200 membership cards per polling unit have already been collected by members in almost 7,000 units. So there is a need for more from the national headquarters,” Mr. Garo claimed.
