The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reported a major surge in its digital membership registration, with more than seven million members already registered and projections to surpass 12 million by the end of the exercise on February 8, 2026.
The announcement was made during a joint address by the APC National Secretary and the National Publicity Secretary, Senator Ajibola Bashiru, on Friday at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
Senator Bashiru explained that the e-registration drive, which has attracted numerous participants, is part of the party’s effort to modernize its membership records and encourage financial inclusion.
He emphasized that party members are required to provide their National Identification Number (NIN) for verification, aligning party records with existing legal requirements.
Describing the e-registration as a historic milestone for the party, Senator Bashiru said it demonstrates not only membership growth but also a commitment to compliance, transparency, and global outreach.
Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, supported this view, noting that the exercise has been highly successful and that the party is already ahead of INEC in capturing accurate membership data.
He encouraged members to continue mobilizing those who have not yet registered and confirmed that applications for upcoming congresses would also be available online.
Morka revealed that the Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda-led National Working Committee (NWC) has extended the registration deadline to February 8, 2026, ahead of the Ward Congresses scheduled for February 18 and the National Convention set for March 27–28, 2026.
He clarified, however, that exceptions will apply for Osun, Ekiti, FCT, and Rivers State due to the upcoming governorship elections and the tenure of existing executives in Rivers State.
He added that further updates on adjustments to the party calendar are expected to be published on Monday.
