Despite
the propaganda bandied about by political naysayers that the APC is a muslim party and may
face boycott by Igbos, the ongoing registration of members by the APC in Imo
State may have proved such insinuations wrong as the APC in Imo State has continued
to witness impressive turn out of people for the exercise.
Investigations
by this blog across the State showed that the exercise started on a low scale
as there was low turnout when it began last week, but this changed since last
Friday when intending members turned out in their numbers to register.
In
Owerri, registration officials said the turn out was impressive as most of them
went short of registration booklets because of the impressive turn out of people.
At
Uzii Primary school, Owerri, some officials of the APC carrying out the
registration exercise said they are happy with the turn out of people who came
in their numbers to register. One of the officials who pleaded anonymity
commended the extension of the exercise which has given ample opportunity for
intending registrants to register with the party.
At
the ultra modern city school, Owerri, there were a good number of people who came to register
At
some centers in Owerri North, Nwangele, Okigwe, Orlu and Njaba, reporst indicate that the story is the same as party officials
expressed delight with the level of registration. This blog gathered that stakeholders of the
party had embarked on sensitization programme to intimate people on the need
for them to register with the party.
Some
top government officials were said to have effectively mobilised their
constituents to register with the party.
As at the time of filing this report, there has been no case of molestation of party officials at designated registration
venues as the exercise has been considered peaceful in most parts of the State.
