E-registration, Congresses: APC has set new benchmark in democratic organisation — Spokesman (Page 90)

By Adeyemi Adeleye

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says its recent electronic membership registration and party congresses have set a benchmark for democratic organisation in Nigeria.

The party’s spokesman, Seye Oladejo, said this in a statement issued on Friday in Lagos.

Oladejo said the exercises reflected the party’s commitment to discipline, innovation and strong institutional structures.

He said the successful electronic membership registration demonstrated the party’s ability to deploy modern systems to strengthen internal democracy.

“From the resounding success of our electronic membership registration exercise to the seamless conduct of our Party Congresses, the APC has proven that structure, innovation, and order are not mere slogans – they are our culture.

“While others trade in confusion and press statements, we build systems.While others quarrel over factions, we strengthen institutions. While others manufacture propaganda, we consolidate progress.

“Across wards and local governments in Lagos State, our congresses were conducted peacefully, transparently, and in strict compliance with constitutional guidelines.

“Participation was massive. The process was orderly. The outcome was clear: a united and forward-looking party ready for the tasks ahead,” the spokesman said.

According to him, beyond the successful conduct of the Congresses, the quality of members elected into the State Executive of the party speaks volumes.

He added: “The new leadership embodies a rare and strategic blend of experience and youthfulness, continuity and renewal, as well as deliberate gender balancing.

“It is a team forged from institutional memory and fresh energy – a combination designed not just to sustain progress, but to accelerate it,” he added.

Oladejo urged opposition parties to learn the values of discipline, organisation and unity of purpose in political leadership.

According to him, it is time for opposition parties to face reality and embrace politics of discipline, cohesion, organisation, and unity of purpose.

He said: “Politics is not noise-making. It is not social media agitation. It is not perpetual internal crisis. It is structure. It is coordination. It is leadership.

“These enduring values remain the bedrock of the progressive movement’s dominance in Lagos State and across Nigeria.

“They explain why the APC continues to grow stronger while others grow louder – and weaker.”

The spokesman said these values remained the foundation of the progressive movement’s dominance in Lagos and across Nigeria.

He said the development also reflected the confidence residents continue to place in the APC.

“Above all, this moment once again affirms the absolute trust that Lagosians place in the APC as a serious, competent, and result-driven political platform worthy of their mandate.

“The people of Lagos have consistently chosen stability over chaos, progress over bitterness, and performance over empty rhetoric.

“We will not be distracted by noise. We will not be slowed by cynicism. And we will certainly not take lectures on organization from parties that cannot organize themselves.

“The APC in Lagos stands disciplined. It stands cohesive. It stands battle-ready. And when the time comes, the verdict of the people will once again be emphatic.” Oladejo said. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
