Opera said that in June 2024, APGA became the first political party in Nigeria to automate its membership registration process.
He described the move as a pioneering step aimed at enhancing efficiency and broadening participation.
According to him, the electronic registration which earlier commenced, will officially re-open on March 1, and is open to all interested Nigerians.
“Prospective members are required to present a valid voter’s card and two passport photographs to complete the process.
“The registration can be done online via the party’s official website at www.officialapga.ng, through WhatsApp on 07055363333 or at ward centres where registration forms could be obtained.
“New members would be issued a temporary membership slip after registration, pending the issuance of their permanent membership cards,” he said.
The spokesman clarified that existing members who had already registered electronically were not required to re-register.
He, however, advised members are yet to upload their passport photographs to update their records through the party’s website or via the designated WhatsApp platform.
Opara urged eligible Nigerians to take advantage of the ongoing exercise to join the party and contribute to national development.
He disclosed that the party was on the verge of reaching the one million membership mark, adding that the current drive was aimed at increasing the figure to two million.
“We invite all eligible Nigerians to seize this opportunity to join the APGA family and contribute to shaping the future of our great nation. Together, we move forward,” Opara concluded.
