THE bid to adopt biometric registration by members of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suffered a setback, as leaders of the party, at a meeting in Abuja, rejected the proposal by block votes.

Sources close to the party confirmed that the bid to adopt biometric registration of members nationwide was rejected by block votes from members of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and the All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP), thus defeating the agenda sponsored by members of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC).

Loyalists of the former head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari, mostly from the defunct CPC, were said to have left the venue of the meeting in anger, having lost the bid for the adoption of biometric registration.

It was gathered that the interim national chairman, Chief Bisi Akande, attempted to pacify the aggrieved members when he told them that they needed to accept the position of the majority of members at the meeting, since the matter was resolved through voting.

The aggrieved members were said to have complained that the measure meant to sanitise the membership of the APC had been rejected.

They were also said to have been irked at the perceived gang up by the ACN and ANPP sections of the merger, as a source said the former CPC members would look deeper so as to forestall a repeat of such gang up on all issues.

Sources in the meeting, however, told the Nigerian Tribune that though Chief Tom Ikimi and Mallam Nasir el-Rufai championed the issue of biometric registration, other members of the APC executive were of the view that since internet penetration was low in the country, it would be counter-productive to adopt such a measure at this time.

“Leaders of the party felt that adopting biometric registration at this time would not work well for the party and that a number of members would be lost.

“Even the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) started e-registration sometimes ago and had to abandon it. Internet penetration in the country is still relatively low,” a source said.
