It would be recalled that the Executive Governor of Ondo State, His Excellency, Hon. (Dr.) Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, in a clear demonstration of his unwavering commitment to the growth and strengthening of the All Progressives Congress (APC), recently personally flagged off a two-day capacity training in Akure for officials involved in the APC membership e-registration exercise.
The training programme brought together the State Coordinator, State Senatorial Administrators, Local Government Supervisors and Ward Agents, all of whom are central to the successful conduct of the party’s ongoing membership e-registration exercise. At the event, Governor Aiyedatiwa underscored the strategic importance of the exercise to the consolidation, planning and future electoral success of the APC, while reaffirming his administration’s resolve to ensure its seamless and credible implementation.
In a symbolic and exemplary show of leadership, the Governor thereafter became the first party member in the state to revalidate his membership, as he was duly registered and issued membership slip number 001.
Further demonstrating his resolve to mobilise the good people of Ondo State for active participation in the exercise, Governor Aiyedatiwa has, at different fora, continued to appeal to party members, prospective members and traditional rulers across the state to come out en masse, without compulsion, to be part of the historic exercise aimed at strengthening the APC.
In fulfilment of his pledge during the capacity training to provide all required equipment, tools and logistics, tablet devices were distributed at the commencement of the exercise to State Senatorial Administrators and Local Government Supervisors to enhance real-time monitoring and coordination. In addition, all 203 Ward Agents and their respective Local Government Supervisors were provided with portable energy storage devices to mitigate the challenges posed by unstable power supply.
All officials engaged for this critical assignment have also received data subscriptions to guarantee uninterrupted internet access, while physical registration forms were distributed across all wards to aid the easy collation of biodata of prospective registrants in the state’s 3,933 polling units, thereby ensuring seamless and efficient data capturing.
To further ease operations, a specified amount of money was made available to all Supervisors and Ward Agents to facilitate mobility within their wards and Local Government Areas, both for effective registration of prospective members and proper monitoring of the exercise.
These timely interventions and strategic support from the Governor have significantly boosted the effectiveness of the exercise, with Ondo State currently ranked second next to Lagos in the South West Zone in the ongoing APC membership e-registration exercise.
I, therefore, use this medium to express our profound appreciation to His Excellency, Hon. (Dr.) Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, for prioritising competence through the appointment of our Convener, Hon. Kolawole Babatunde, FCIPA, ALBS, as the State Coordinator of the APC membership e-registration exercise in Ondo State, and for providing all the necessary materials to ensure success. I also commend the State Coordinator for assembling a highly competent and committed team of State Senatorial Administrators, Local Government Supervisors and Ward Agents, whose collective efforts have made this laudable achievement possible.
The APC membership e-registration exercise is currently ongoing across all wards in Ondo State. Existing party members are required to revalidate their membership, while prospective members are encouraged to visit designated registration centres in their respective wards for enrolment. Both existing and new members are required to present their National Identification Number (NIN) and Voter’s Identification Number (VIN) to the e-registration officials during the process. The exercise is scheduled to end on 30th January, 2026.
