We’ve achieved 4.2m membership in digital registration – Turaki-led PDP

The Tanimu Turaki-led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Wednesday boasted that despite the inconvenience of the very tight timeframe previously announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) it has recorded on its portal a total of 4,264,675 members via ongoing nationwide registration. 

Addressing newsmen in Abuja, the factional national publicity secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong, said its mobilisation team went into the nooks and crannies of rural and urban areas where members reside to kick-start the exercise, which according to him is scheduled to last for three weeks.

Presenting the interim outcome of the digital membership registration exercise and other matters before the press, the NPS said the action became necessary as the country was entering into the first month of the second quarter of the pre-election year. 

Basking in the euphoria of the feedback, Ememobong expressed delight that the ongoing e-registration of members across all the wards of the country was successful despite the tight timeframe previously announced by the INEC.

“We created the digital platform, mobilised human resources (most of whom offered as volunteers), and went into the nooks and crannies of our rural and urban areas where our members reside. 

“The process, which was scheduled to last for three weeks, was by every inch herculean, but as it is said, nothing beats the prepared mind.

“Data on our portal indicates that our Ward Registration Agents, as at midnight of March 31, 2026, recorded a total of 4,264,675 (four million, two hundred and sixty-four thousand, six hundred and seventy-five) members,” he said.
