Fagbemi Leads Stakeholders As Governor AbdulRazaq Kicks Off Party Data Revalidation

Date: 2026-01-15

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq officially flagged off the e-registration and membership revalidation exercise for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state on Monday, January 5, 2026.

The Governor, who made history as the first person to be documented in the state's digital party register, explained that the initiative is designed to strengthen the APC and provide an accurate membership tally for future planning. During the stakeholders' engagement in Ilorin, he emphasized the importance of using data to empower members and protect the party's interests.

"It is important that we know how many of us are members of this exclusive club (APC), which is arguably the biggest party in Africa," the Governor stated. He described the APC as the only party capable of developing Nigeria and its local government areas, urging party officials to ensure the exercise is inclusive.

Governor AbdulRazaq issued a stern warning against the exclusion of any willing individual from the registration process. He noted that a transparent and comprehensive count is essential for effective canvassing and ensuring that no member is left behind in the party's empowerment programmes.

The event, which signals a major shift toward digital party administration in the state, was organized by the State APC leadership under the chairmanship of Prince Sunday Fagbemi and attended by various party stalwarts from across Kwara's 16 local government areas.

"Now, for those who have been tasked with this exercise: don't exclude anyone. We need all the members we can get. So, make sure you register, not just our members, you should go out and canvass for new members.

"This is an opportunity to canvass new members. You've seen all the work that's been done from the federal level to the state and local government level. Use that to market the party, to make sure that we expand from where we used to be," he added.

The governor said his administration has executed projects across sectors which have made Kwara State more developed and viable than it ever was.

"The facts speak for themselves across every sector. We have posted sterling performances that everyone can see in every part of the state," he added.

The governor said everyone needs their National Identity Number (NIN) to be onboarded as members of the party.

The event was attended by top party chieftains, federal and state legislators, cabinet members, board chairmen and members, among others.

The state APC chairman, Prince Sunday Fagbemi said the meeting was called to assure everyone in the APC that there is no hanky-panky, and to create equitable platform for all.

He said arrangements have been put in place to make sure no one is marginalised, adding that intending registrants will be required to meet some pre-conditions.

Fagbemi commended the governor for his pragmatism and achievements across key sectors, including in the education, health, and road infrastructure.

"The reasons for our gathering include but are not limited to the fact that we have to work together as one entity. We must unite and work together and align behind Mr. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who is our leader. We have seen the achievements of the Governor and that is strong enough to mobilise the people," he said.

The deputy chief of Staff, Princess Bukola Babalola said it takes the concerted efforts of the party leaders and stalwarts to make the exercise successful, asking all and sundry to support the exercise.

The chairman, Lower Niger River Basin Development Authority, Ilorin, Hon. Abdullateef Gidado Alakawa, said the registration exercise offers an opportunity for the state to strengthen membership of the party.

The state coordinator for membership e-registration, Mubarak Bello who took the gathering through the guidelines, rules and mode of operation of the exercise, said electronic registration will take place across the three Senatorial Districts, urging all party faithful to participate in the process.

Bello explained that a total of 579 registration agents will be onboarded from across 193 wards, saying this will be preceded by registration of senatorial administrators and local government supervisors.

"Only members (people) with valid National Identification Numbers (NIN) are eligible to be registered. Members with invalid NIN should as a matter of necessity relate with the agent so as to accelerate the means of revalidation of their number," he said.
