The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has revealed plans to commence E-registration to welcome new members nationwide from the 9th of August 2021.
Briefing newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday, the National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Kola Ologbondiyan called on well-meaning Nigerians to join the party in order to save the country from the present state of hunger and poverty.
“We are happy that INEC has come out to reveal that not less than one million Nigerians have so far participated in the continuous voter registration exercise of the commission.
“To us, these one million people constitute a referendum against the bad and maladministration of President Muhammadu Buhari as well as the All Progressives Congress (APC) because many of those who are registering now through the continuous voter registration exercise of INEC are people who have attuned the age of 18, people who have never participated in the registration exercise before, young men and young women out there who are totally dissatisfied with the situation in which the APC has brought our country. These are the people who are currently engaging in the continuous voter registration exercise.”
“The referendum Nigerians who are registering now have against the All Progressives Congress, as well as President Muhammadu Buhari, bothers of the fact that they are protesting the poverty, the hunger and starvation in our nation today.”
“It is a referendum against the high cost of living. Many of us are aware that a ‘mudu’ of Beans in the Nigerian market is N1,000, that a ‘mudu’ of garri is N600, that a bag of Rice in my own neighbourhood is N30,000 that a bottle of red oil is N750, that 12.5kg of gas which we were buying for N2,000 has become N6,000.
“So those who you find now that are registering or those that have registered among the one million that INEC has declared are coming out to display their anger against the All Progressives Congress as well as the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari,” he stated.
Ologbondiyan reaffirmed that there is “no part of Nigeria that is not covered as far as the PDP is concerned. From the information we have received from all our members, across the 36 states and across the 774 local governments, there is nowhere that we have received a report that they cannot carry out the online registration.”
He said the duration of the e- registration will be determined when the programme becomes fully operational.
