The Kano State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called for massive mobilisation of members to strengthen the ongoing e-registration exercise, describing it as a strategic move to secure victory in the next general elections.
The call was made on Tuesday at the end of a marathon stakeholders’ meeting held in Kano.
Speaking at the meeting, the immediate past National Chairman of the APC and Chairperson of the Board of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, stressed that the e-registration exercise is critical to building a comprehensive, credible and verifiable membership database capable of enhancing the party’s electoral performance nationwide.
Following briefings by the Kano APC Chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, and the state e-registration coordinator, Shafi’u Darma, the meeting resolved that all party members must ensure they are registered and actively encourage others to do so, especially given the party’s strong grassroots presence across the state.

Stakeholders noted that accurate and comprehensive registration would further consolidate the APC’s political structure, expand voter outreach and maximise its chances in forthcoming elections, building on over one and a half decades of loyalty and organisational influence in Kano.
Members were also urged to remain united and rally behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
