The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has announced the party’s plan to introduce an electronic registration system for its members to accurately determine their number and quality.
Ganduje, a former Governor of Kano State, made this disclosure on Thursday during a meeting with members of the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Kano State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Abuja.
He explained, “We are introducing electronic registration of our members, not only to know the actual numbers but also to know the quality of the data and the variety of the data.”
Ganduje further elaborated, “You will know precisely the age groups of members of your party because if you want to hit a particular age group, you will be able to address it depending on your need assessment of that age group.”
He noted that operating in an analogue manner has often made it difficult to accurately gauge membership data, saying, “You know, there are issues of sex, age, profession, educational level, and so on. So, it will give us data that will help us while campaigning; we will know how to hit our targets.”
