The All Progressives Congress(APC) now has 15.6million members nationwide, according to party chairman Adams Oshiomhole.

He disclosed this on Wednesday when he presented President Muhammadu Buhari with a new party membership card.

Oshiomhole told the president that the APC under his leadership, took advantage of modern technology to come up with a new membership data base, saying that the party currently has 15.6 million registered members.

“Today to talk about the size of our party, the largest party in the world and in Africa, we need to have evidence that can be verified by a third party or by members.

“We have taken advantage of technology to produce what I believed is the best or the first in Nigeria.

“We now have as at last week when they started printing of membership register, about 15.6 million registered APC members across the country,” he said.

Fact checking however showed that while APC may have registered 15.6m members, it is not the world’s largest. The Chinese Communist Party has 89million registered members, while India’s ruling party, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has a membership of 110 million as at 2015. In Africa, South Africa’s African National Congress had 769,000 members as at 2015. The PDP membership strength is unknown.

The APC national chairman added that the party membership data base was designed to ensure that the membership status of anyone could easily be verified at the touch of a bottom.

Oshiomhole further added that with the development, the party had credible and verifiable persons to conduct direct primaries on the basis of its membership register.

However, he said the party would not in any way nullify or change the decisions of its National Executive Committee (NEC) at its sixth meeting, which allowed for indirect primaries, for logistics reasons

He said the APC will strive to give practical expression to its decision as transparently as possible.

This, he added, would ensure that the APC would not only be the largest, but the smartest, most democratic and most cohesive party in the country.

That's 15.6 million Zone B's?

they are tactically telling us They will write at least 15 million votes for Buhari on the result sheet. Na from here rigging dey start

Jeez! See lies

This is bad really. This is terrible. You see the disadvantage of a poor database?
What percentage of Nigeria population are over 18? How many of those are into active politics? How many are APC members? After seeing what Oshiomhole did in Edo state gubernatorial election in 2016, i am not surprised that he is perfecting plans to rig the 2019 election.

My problem is with whoever will come to this thread to support this rubbish or shout Sai baba, i respect your opinion but you'll never go unpunished.

In dream or in real life? That's my own concern for now.

For this lie alone,Oshiomole deserves to be put in the zoo with monkeys. Lying to justify planned rigging.

I don't think they are zombies bro, they are just people who flows anywhere there's money or food.

Hunger can reset someone to factory settings remember?

Racoon:
Boom! Another big lie from the stable of APC under Oshiomole.Where the Bleep is this chairman getting this figure when many APC state chapters ditched the direct primary option because of lack of comprehensive voter's register
Even Lagos as well as other states just commenced new membership drive while APC Akwa Ibom suspended its own because of abysmal turn out of people.
Perhaps Oshiomole is talking about the 15million people that voted for Buhari in 2015 otherwise this is a pre-2019 rigging figure that he just churned out.

Even Oshiomole knows he's lying.

He just needs to impress his paymaster.

"..This, he added, would ensure that the APC would not only be the largest, but the smartest, most democratic and most cohesive party in the country."

This summarizes the this fraudulent pre-rigging figure he just put out.Fear APC as the desperation is real now.

This man go just dey pull figures as he like from his ass..

This ugly short dwarf is a terrible liar.

Who else has worked with very incompetent colleagues that only resorts to lies and propaganda to deceive management??
Oshiomole reminds me of someone
