The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has backed the position of the party’s former interim National Chairman, Bisi Akande on the Caretaker Committee and the ongoing national registration and revalidation exercise.

Akande had on Thursday faulted the creation of the party’s caretaker and extra-ordinary convention planning committees and also picked holes in the ongoing exercise initiated by the committee, saying the registration is wasteful.

He also berated the Caretaker Executive Committee constituted by President Muhammadu Buhari last year, saying most aberrant authorities always end up in contempt and disgrace.

The ex-APC chairman asked the party’s current leadership to resist all temptations of “sit-tight syndromes” which according to him, usually characterized “most handpicked authorities in most underdeveloped countries of the world.”

Addressing journalists on Saturday at his Ikoyi residence in Lagos, Tinubu said he would not fault Akande’s position but will endorse it.

“Since we have a foundation and that foundation is on which the structure up till the present was built at the time of the registration of this party, I will not fault Baba Akande’s position; I will not but endorse it,” he said after being registered on Saturday.

“What we are doing now is a matter of addition and subtraction, free entry and free exit. You have joined a particular party; you have decided to leave that party. You have equal opportunity for new members to join and update the existing register of the party.”

The APC national leader said he hasn’t heard a situation whereby the party’s register submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the time of APC registration has been invalidated.

He described the party’s exercise as an update and revalidation of all those membership, adding that despite the APC witnessing several congresses and exits, it had complied with the nation’s Electoral Act.

The APC leader was accompanied by Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwoolu and the Osun State Governor, Isiaka Oyetola who is a member of the party’s caretaker committee, alongside several party leaders in the state.

He doesn't support re-registration but he has to do it to avoid any trouble.

Talking about a man who have lost mouth in the affairs of his party.

Funny thing is that he and Akande has been cowarded to even speak up in the midst of all Fulani slaughter of his people.

I was told their plan is to get the presidency in 2023 and then restructure the country ASAP.
To me its just a nonsense plan since you cannot predict the north.

The north is surely doing the south shege. Chaiiiii

In other words, the existing register is still very much valid. This new registration is only an exercise at updating the existing register. hmm, this cold war is taking a new twist.


kiss the truth!

Lol The existing register is now null and void.When the cabals are through with him he will change from Jagaban to Jagarun

The real issue about this registration and revalidation of membership is just to withdraw the party membership database believed to be in Tinubu’s custody

Does a caretaker committee possess the power to invalidate an existing valid register?

kiss the truth!

YourMajesty:
We all could remember how this greedy thief was quiet when some military personnel shoot at peaceful EndSARS protesters at his own turf some months back...

We can also remember how this cocaine lover was silent on the killing of his own people by those marauding Fulani herdsmen all over the SW region.

But here is the bullion van ambassador talking about inter party affairs as if his life and that of his kinsmen depends on it.

Asiwaju is a COWARD.

TimeManager:

You can't retrieve a database that is in the custody of INEC without due process. Unknowingly to them, they are only updating an existing register which is in the custody of INEC & perhaps Tinubu.

Lol [s]Oga the old register is now null and void.[/s] If any old member refuses to register,he would automatically lose his membership

TimeManager:

Old members are not registering afresh, they are only REVALIDATING their membership.
You're old enough to make valid argument rather than trolling.

Pls, put on your thinking cap & don't get yourself confused by semantics.
This registration (Revalidation+New membership) are a process of UPDATING an existing or old database/register.
Who declares an old register invalid?.. A mere caretaker committee?.. How possibly legal?... Think!

Tinubu is a phenomenon, trying to stop Tinubu politically is like trying to stop Anambra/igbos from been the most indiscriminate drug traffickers, Tinubu have paid his dues, only dead can stop him and it is not now.

PaChukwudi44:

The old members that didn't revalidate, will there still be members??

TimeManager:

If I hold an APC card in 2015 that is still valid and recognized by INEC & without the party asking the INEC to invalidate the old register at its disposal.

kiss the truth!
