The Speaker of the Osun House of Assembly , Rt. Hon. Timothy Owoeye, on Tuesday, revalidated his registration as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at his party ward in Ilesha, by registering in the ongoing APC membership registration exercise.
The registration which took place at Ward 10, Unit 9, Orogba Street, Ilesha North-East Local Government Development Area, was supervised by APC Membership Registration Committee from Abuja.
Owoeye, who said he revalidated his membership registration because he strongly believes the APC is the only political party that can take Nigeria to the promised land.
He said the merger of the different political parties that formed the APC in 2013 was with the aim of chasing the then president, Goodluck Jonathan away, and making the lives of Nigerians better and making the country great
He said the war against Boko Haram/insurgency would soon be over , as the newly appointed Chiefs of Staff, by the APC president, Mohammadu Buhari, were up to the task and would soon deliver the desire results.
He called on already members of the APC to canvass for more people, especially the youths with fresh ideas, to join and register with the party, saying the APC is a great party with great plans for the people.
The Abuja APC Registration Committee Chairman, Mr Femi Odufowokan, earlier in his remarks, said the membership registration exercise was to update the 2014 data/information of members of the party.
Odufowokan said the pioneer chairman, Bisi Akande and the state governor, Gboyega Oyetola had already been captured in the registration last week, and that Owoeye would be the first APC member that would be captured as the two week membership registration kicks off today (Tuesday).
He said the registration exercise would start with the registration of APC party leaders (which Owoeye is) and that other members of the party are to start coming for their registration as from Wednesday.
He said those coming for the registration, should however, come with their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) and two passport photographs and that those without their PVC could still come for the registration, but explaining why they don’t have a PVC.
Mr Ayo Ogunyemi, the APC Chairman of Ilesha North-East Local Government Development Area, in his remarks asked members of the party, at the units to participate in the registration exercise, as a matter of duty to the party.
He said the party registration is not the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) registration, and that all APC members should troop out to participate in the exercise, saying the registration is of immense benefits to the party members in the future
