Our party hits over 40 million members – APC

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), on Monday, said its membership has now hit over 40 million.

The Secretary of the Caretaker Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), James Akpanudoedehe, disclosed this when the chairman of the Caretaker Committee, Governor Mai Mala Buni, played host to some designated non-career ambassadors at the party Secretariat, in Abuja.

Akpanudoedehe said before the committee commenced the just- concluded membership registration, revalidation and update exercise, the membership strength was about 12 million.

It said it has now risen to over 40 million members.

Addressing the new diplomats, Akpanudoedehe said: “We are blessed to have a focused and gentle Chairman. When he came on board, we lost ground. Under his leadership, we have regained what we lost and gained more.

“We had membership strength of 12 million. I want to inform Your Excellencies, under his (Buni) leadership the APC has moved to over 40 million today.”
