PDP approves e-registration of members
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP has approved resuscitation of the online registration system for the party members nationwide.
The registration, according to a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, on Sunday in Abuja, is to commence in Edo.
The statement explained that the decision to resuscitate the e-registration, initiated in 2010, was part of the re-engineering to re-build the party.
It said that Edo would be used as a pilot state for the project.
“The NWC after wide consultations with critical stakeholders, and in line with the wishes and aspirations of our teeming supporters, has approved the resuscitation of the e-registration project.
“This project was initially presented at the 52nd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of our party on Aug. 12, 2010.
“The project is aimed, among other things, at harmonising our membership data, returning ownership of the party to the people and strengthening our structures at all levels.
It said the party’s NWC believed that the e-registration was a decisive step towards enthroning internal democracy and giving every member a voice in the party.
The statement explained that details of the process would be transmitted to PDP’s structures nationwide.
“Consequently, the earlier scheduled Edo State congresses are by this announcement deferred until the completion of the pilot e-registration exercise in the state.
“The national leadership by this, charges all members in Edo State to make themselves available for the e-registration as well as work hard to win new members and more supporters for the party in the state.”
The statement urged all party members to remain focused and continue to work together in furthering the rebuilding effort of the committee.

With credible people like Chief Metuh,it is certain that PDP is re-engineered for a victory in 2019. We trust in you Olisa.
Nice development. Well done chief Metuh.
Nigeria’s destiny lies in the hands of PDP for constructive and prosperous leadership.
What leadership qualities did they show in the last 16 years?
APC has failed long before they started. Buhari has no clue about leadershi and governance.
Watch Nigeria drift astray under APC in the next four years. It is only PDP that knows what it takes to rule Nigeria. PDP,power to the people!
PDP is the party for young people. The youths has no future under APC. I enjoin all young Nigerians to participate in this e-registration exercise.
PDP is the only party with ideology and interest of Nigeria at heart. They are the only party with more good people. Up PDP!
Olisa Metuh is a great leader. We trust in his abilities to inspire PDP to victory.
PDP for life!!!! Lets give APC a run for their money.
We will review and take appropriate action.
