Ongoing membership drive meant for new members – PDP NWC

The Peoples Democratic Party National Working Committee has said its ongoing membership registration drive aims to provide an opportunity and access for eligible Nigerians eager to join the PDP nationwide.

In a statement on Monday, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, also clarified that the existing memberships remain valid and do not require revalidation.

Ologunagba explained that the clarification was necessary because the PDP National Working Committee had received reports of existing members in some wards in certain states being asked to revalidate their membership.

The statement read in part, “The NWC in clear terms clarifies that the on-going membership drive and registration of new members is only targeted at providing opportunity and access to eligible Nigerians who are enthusiastic and surging in their millions to register as members of our Party across the country.

“The NWC further clarifies that the membership status, rights and privileges of already existing members remain valid and in no way whatsoever affected by the membership drive.

“Consequently, no existing member is expected or required to have his or her membership revalidated as such individuals remain bona-fide members of the Party and not subject to any form of revalidation.”

The PDP urged its members and officers, particularly in all electoral wards nationwide, to take note of this information and act accordingly.

It continued “The NWC again acknowledges the continuing influx of millions of Nigerians into our Party in the on-going PDP membership drive exercise across the country.

“The PDP urges all members to continue to work together in the drive to further strengthen our Party for the task ahead.”
