Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has flagged off the membership registration and revalidation exercise for the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
The governor, accompanied by his wife, Nonye Soludo, led the exercise by becoming the first participant to revalidate their status.
Soludo described the move as a strategic alignment with the provisions of the new Electoral Act, aimed at sanitising the party’s internal data.
A key highlight of this new phase is the integration of the National Identification Number (NIN) into the party’s database.
The governor in a statement posted on his X page on Monday said this technical requirement is a “game-changer” designed to ensure the integrity and credibility of APGA’s membership records.
By adopting this digital-first approach, Soludo noted that APGA is positioning itself as a pioneer in Nigerian political party administration, moving away from manual, error-prone documentation to a robust, verifiable system.

During the launch, Soludo emphasised that the registration process has been simplified to ensure inclusivity across all demographics.
He urged existing members to “cement their place” in the party and called on prospective members to join what he described as Nigeria’s foremost progressive movement.
“We are not just updating our records; we are building a robust, credible party structure,” Soludo stated. “The process is seamless, and we have simplified it so much that no one will be left behind.”
The exercise is expected to provide APGA with an accurate reflection of its strength at the grassroots level ahead of future electoral cycles.
By utilising NIN verification, the party aims to eliminate “ghost members” and double registrations, ensuring that only genuine constituents are captured in the final register.
The governor encouraged supporters to follow the official digital channels provided by the party to complete their registration, stressing that the modernisation of APGA is central to its long-term vision for governance and political engagement.
