The All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied allegations by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) that it is coercing civil servants into the ongoing electronic registration exercise of the party.
According to a statement signed by the APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, on Monday, he described the claims as entirely false and baseless, noting that they seek to cast a shadow over the cutting-edge and pathbreaking digitisation of the party’s membership register.
“It is a part of ADC’s disinformation campaign that included the fabrication and circulation of a fake ‘APC membership slip’, purporting that a notorious terrorist had registered as a member of APC.
“Inspired by visible gains and impact of the Renewed Hope Agenda, millions of Nigerians have registered and continue to register, voluntarily and enthusiastically, as members of our party, compelling our leadership to yield to popular demand to extend the period of registration from January 31 to February 8, 2026,” Morka stated.
He asserted that the ADC is intimidated by the phenomenal success of the APC’s e-registration exercise, stressing that this does not justify concocting and spreading lies in an attempt to smear the exercise.
“While the ADC continues to fumble and peddle falsehood, our great party remains focused on its onward march as Africa’s standard-bearer of digital and democratic innovation,” the statement added.
