Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State have urged for massive participation in the ongoing electronic registration of party members, describing it as a key strategy for securing victory in the 2027 general elections.
The call followed a midnight marathon stakeholders’ meeting held on Tuesday and chaired by the former National Chairman of the APC, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
In a statement issued after the meeting by Comrade Muhammad Garba, Chief of Staff to the former APC National Chairman, the stakeholders said the e-registration exercise is crucial to building a comprehensive, credible and verifiable membership database that will strengthen the party’s electoral performance.
According to the statement, the meeting received detailed briefings from the Kano State APC Chairman, Prince Abdullahi Abbas, and the party’s Organising Secretary and state e-registration coordinator, Shafi’u Darma, on the progress of the exercise.
The stakeholders resolved that, given the party’s strong grassroots base in Kano, all members must ensure they are registered and also mobilise others to participate in the exercise.
They noted that Kano’s proactive engagement in the e-registration process would consolidate the party’s more than one and a half decades of loyalty and organisational influence in the state, while also improving voter outreach and mobilisation ahead of future elections.
The meeting further called on party members to remain united and support President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, stressing that political cohesion is essential for achieving both party and national development objectives.

Speaking at the meeting, the Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, urged party members to embrace peace, unity and understanding, saying these were necessary to consolidate the APC’s position as the largest political party on the African continent.
The meeting was attended by several party leaders and government officials, including Senator Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila (Kano South), Hon. Kabir Abubakar Bichi, Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa, Prince Abdullahi Abbas, Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna and Hon. Murtala Sule Garo.
Others included Ministers of State Yusuf Abdullahi Ata and Dr. Mariya Mahmud Bunkure, former Deputy Governor Abdullahi Tijjani Gwarzo, and other party elders and officials.
The stakeholders also recommended extended party meetings at various levels to intensify mobilisation for the e-registration exercise, insisting that no eligible member should be left unregistered as the party prepares for the 2027 elections.
