Buni, who was represented by Secretary of the APC Caretaker Committee, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe noted that the recently concluded membership registration and revalidation exercise puts the total number of members at over 40 million.
“The APC is the ruling party in Nigeria and is the largest political party in Africa going by figures of its just-concluded membership registration. We stand at over 40, million registered members.
“We, therefore, look forward to more robust engagement between our countries and even on political parties basis,” he said.
The party, between February and April 2021, conducted a membership registration and revalidation exercise across the country.
The exercise was aimed at giving prospective members the chance to be officially registered in the party.
