Alhaji Yahaya Bello, former governor of Kogi, says President Bola Tinubu has good plans for Nigerians as the All Progressives Congress (APC) commenced electronic membership registration in the state.
The Kogi chapter of the APC began the e-registration exercise on Monday in line with directives from the party’s national headquarters.
Bello was electronically registered at Agasa ward in Okene local government area at an event attended by party loyalists, including Abdullahi Bello, chairman of the APC in Kogi.
Speaking after his registration, Bello described the exercise as timely and commendable, saying it would strengthen internal cohesion and improve engagement between the party and its members.
His words: “Let me commend everyone for turning out for this exercise today, and I want to assure you that our leader and president, Bola Tinubu, has good plans for the people of this great nation and he will continue to do more for the people.
“The requirement of the National Identification Number in the e-registration process shows that members are directly linked to the party leadership and can be reached without intermediaries for empowerment and other benefits, and I urge you to encourage members of your families to participate in this exercise.”
He urged party members to participate actively in the e-registration exercise, saying it would connect registered members directly to government interventions and empowerment programmes under the renewed hope administration.
Bello also called on party members to take future elections seriously, saying the APC remained the dominant political party in the state.
He said development often comes with challenges and urged Nigerians to remain patient and continue supporting the president’s reform agenda, which he described as focused on long-term national progress.
Bello thanked party stakeholders in the state for their continued support, commending the state executive, local government chairmen, grassroots leaders and party supporters.
Earlier, Abdullahi Bello said the e-registration exercise would continue across the 21 local government areas of the state following the registration of the governor and former governor.
He appealed to party members to cooperate and participate promptly to ensure the exercise is completed within the timeframe set by the party’s national leadership.
