Oshiomhole speaks on APC being Africa’s largest party
Oshiomhole, has declared that the ruling party was the largest in
Africa with membership of about 15.6 million nationwide, the News
Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports.
Speaking yesterday when he presented President Muhammadu Buhari with a
new party membership card in Abuja, Oshiomhole said under the
President's leadership, APC took advantage of modern technology to
come up with a new membership database.
He said, "Today, to talk about the size of our party, the largest
party in the world and in Africa, we need to have evidence that can be
verified by a third party or by members.
"We have taken advantage of technology to produce what I believed is
the best or the first in Nigeria.
"We now have as at last week when they started printing of membership
register, about 15.6 million registered APC members across the
country."
Oshiomhole noted that APC membership database was designed to ensure
that the membership status of anyone could easily be verified at the
touch of a bottom.
