The All Progressives Congress Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), on Thursday, announced the extension of the membership registration/revalidation and update exercise by three weeks.

National Secretary of the CECPC, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, in a statement said there was a consensus on the need for an extension.

The statement further disclosed that there was an avalanche of applications from those he called critical stakeholders for additional time to conclude the exercise which officially terminated on Wednesday.

Senator Akpanudoedehe specifically mentioned the audit of the reports received from; the National Membership Registration, Revalidation and Update Committee; the States’ Registration Committees and the forum of State Chairmen for the extension.

His statement read in part: “The All Progressives Congress (APC) Membership Registration/Revalidation and Update Exercise was scheduled to terminate on March 31, 2021.

“The audit of the reports received from; the National Membership Registration, Revalidation and Update Committee; the States’ Registration Committees; and that of our Situation Room indicate as follows:(1) Most states for varied reasons, started late, and require additional time to conclude the exercise.

“(2) An avalanche of applications from critical stakeholders (including all States Caretaker Chairmen) for an extension of time to capture Nigerians who are still desirous of joining the fold of the progressives.

“The Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) under the leadership of His Excellency, Hon Mai Mala Buni had done everything possible to keep to the earlier timeline, however, it has become imperative to extend the duration of this very important party activity.

“Consequently, the CECPC has approved the recommendation of the National Committee for the Membership Registration, Revalidation and Update to extend the duration of the exercise for three weeks.”
