APC e-registration: Igbo-Etiti LG targets 200,000 registrants

The Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area has revealed its plans to register over 200,000 members for the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the party's ongoing E- registration exercise.

It also declared massive support for the re-election bid of both President Bola Tinubu and Enugu State Governor, Dr. Peter Mbah in 2027.

The Igbo-Etiti Council Chairman, Dr. Eric Odo, made the disclosure, on Tuesday, while flagging-off the APC e-registration exercise at the Council Headquarters in Ogbede.

Odo argued that registering the large member would enable the LGA to demand for more development from both the federal and the state governments.

“Our target is to register not less than 200,000 members of the APC in Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area. This e-registration is a strategic move to reposition the party, deepen internal democracy, and give every member a sense of belonging,” he said.

According to him, logistics have been put in place to ensure a smooth and hitch-free exercise, emphasizing that the exercise will enable old and new members to officially identify with the party.

The council chairman hinted that the journey towards political emancipation of the South East region had started, adding that the Igbo presidency can only be actualised through APC.

He expressed strong optimism that the party would win all elective positions, including the governorship seat, in 2027.

Earlier, the APC e-registration Coordinating Supervisor in Igbo-Etiti, Mr Salem Ezeorah, explained that the registration exercise makes one an authentic member of the party.

Ezeorah maintained that this would make it impossible for anyone to be denied access as an APC member, and urged everyone to participate in the e-registration exercise to increase the number of party members in the council area.
