“Indeed, this exercise is pivotal because years into years, registration accommodates newer members who have come of the age and also revalidates old members. I recall that in 2018, the national body of our Party also approved something of this nature for Kogi State. It helped the easy assemblage of the necessary stakeholders which you will be directing on necessary steps to take.
