…Urges Massive Membership Drive
The Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, on Monday officially flagged off the All Progressives Congress (APC) electronic registration exercise at his Upogoro Ward in Okene Local Government Area.
The event marked the formal commencement of the APC e-registration programme across the state and attracted party leaders, stakeholders and supporters, who gathered to witness the Governor revalidate his membership on the party’s digital platform.
Speaking after completing his online registration, Governor Ododo urged Kogites to embrace the initiative and register en masse as members of the ruling party, describing the e-registration exercise as a significant step towards strengthening internal democracy and party organisation.
He noted that the digital platform was introduced to accommodate the growing number of Nigerians eager to align with the APC’s progressive ideology and reform agenda.
“Hundreds of thousands of people have been clamouring to register as members of our party. This platform has created the opportunity to achieve that seamlessly, thanks to our performing President and the national leadership of the party,” the Governor said.
Governor Ododo attributed the renewed confidence in the APC to the bold reforms and leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, noting that the party has become increasingly attractive due to improvements in the nation’s economy.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made our party the most attractive in Nigeria today. His policies are yielding results. The economy is gradually stabilising, the naira is strengthening, food prices are easing, and agriculture is taking centre stage once again. The beginning was tough, but it was necessary to build a stronger and more resilient nation,” he stated.
He expressed confidence that Nigerians would reward the President’s courage and reforms with renewed trust, stressing that the people believe in his leadership and vision.
The Governor further directed party leaders at all levels to ensure the smooth and massive rollout of the e-registration exercise across Kogi State, describing it as evidence that the APC is ushering in a new era of digital party management.
He specifically charged the highest political appointee in each Local Government Area to work closely with council chairmen and key party stakeholders to guarantee the success of the exercise in their respective councils.
“Let us open our doors wide for others to join the progressive family. Everyone who comes into this party is welcome and will be treated as an equal stakeholder,” he assured.
Reaffirming his commitment to good governance, Governor Ododo pledged to continue delivering on his campaign promises to the people of Kogi State, despite the commendations his administration has received.
Since assuming office, he said his government has recorded notable achievements across key sectors, including the strengthening of the state’s security architecture through collaboration with federal agencies and local hunters, improved access to healthcare, renewed focus on rural electrification, rehabilitation of major road networks, and sustained investment in education, youth empowerment and agriculture.
Governor Ododo added that positive feedback from the people would only spur his administration to work harder, declaring that it would not “take its foot off the pedal” in the drive to build a safer, more prosperous and inclusive Kogi State.
The Governor was accompanied by members of the APC state leadership during the flag-off ceremony.
