Digitalization of membership registration in Nigeria’s political landscape Commendable as opined by the APGA National Chairman, Barrister Sly Ezeokenwa – Written by Nduka Anyanwu, SA- Media to The APGA National Chairman.
The All-Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) is indeed pioneering the digitalization of membership registration in Nigeria’s political landscape. By embracing technology, APGA aims to modernize its membership registration process, making it more efficient, accessible, and transparent.
APGA’s digital membership registration system which was launched in June 2024, allows members to register online,
eliminating the need for paper-based records and reducing the chances of errors or manipulation. This initiative also provides a secure and centralized
database for member data, which can be updated periodically.
The party’s leadership, under Barrister Sylvester Ezeokenwa, recognizes the importance of leveraging technology to enhance member engagement, improve
communication, and foster transparency. This forward-thinking approach has set APGA apart as a leader in Nigeria’s political landscape.
Other parties, such as the All-Progressives Congress (APC), are taking note of APGA’s innovative approach and following suit. The APC has recently on Feb 12th 2025 initiated its own digital membership registration process, demonstrating the growing trend of political parties embracing technology to modernize their operations.
APGA’s pioneering efforts in digital membership registration are expected to have a profound impact on Nigeria’s political landscape, promoting transparency, accountability, and increased citizen participation. Key Benefits of Political Party’s Digital Membership Registration
1. Improved Efficiency: The digital system streamlines the registration process, making it easier for members to join and engage with the party.
2. Enhanced Transparency: The platform provides a secure and centralized database, ensuring accurate and up-to-date records of members.
3. Increased Participation: The digital system enables members to participate more easily in party activities and decision-making processes.
The impact of APGA’s digital membership registration extends beyond the party itself. It has set a precedent for other political parties in Nigeria to follow, as noted earlier with the All-Progressives Congress (APC) recently launching its
own digital membership registration process.
A New Era in Nigeria’s Political Landscape
As Nigeria continues to evolve and grow, its political landscape must also adapt to meet the changing needs of its citizens. APGA’s pioneering efforts in digital membership registration mark an important step towards a more
modern, inclusive, and participatory political system.
By embracing technology and innovation, Nigeria’s political parties are ushering in a new era of digital politics in Nigeria. The introduction of the digital membership register is a testimony to Barrister Ezeokenwa’s commitment to modernizing APGA and setting it on a path of sustainable growth.
Governor Chukwuma Soludo, the national leader of APGA and Governor of Anambra State, has been a strong advocate for this groundbreaking initiative.
