E-registration: Anambra APC urges members to register ahead 2027 elections

Leadership of the Anambra State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has urged party members to participate fully in the ongoing nationwide electronic registration exercise, describing it as crucial for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 general election.

The call was made by the State Chairman of the Party, Chief Basil Ejidike, during a stakeholders’ meeting in Awka, on Saturday, January 24th, 2026, convened by the Director General, South East Governors Forum, Senator Uche Ekwunife to review progress and chart the way forward for the party’s ongoing electronic membership registration (e-registration) exercise nationwide.

 According to Ejidike, the e-registration “is not merely administrative; it is a strategic political process aimed at repositioning the APC for continued dominance, unity, and electoral victories at all levels in the upcoming general elections.

He emphasised that a strong and verifiable membership register “remains the backbone of any serious political party” and urged all members—old and new, leaders and grassroots supporters—to see the exercise as both a civic and political responsibility.

“Participation in this exercise is a clear demonstration of loyalty, commitment, and readiness to defend the ideals and progressive philosophy of the APC. It is also necessary for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he noted.

He also encouraged party supporters who are yet to formally register to take advantage of the ongoing process and become bona fide members.

“At this critical moment in our political journey, unity, discipline, and active participation remain key to consolidating the achievements of the APC-led government and sustaining the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Anambra State must continue to stand firm as a progressive stronghold of the APC in the South East region of Nigeria, the Chairman stressed.
