Bassey said the party’s State Chairman, Aniekan Akpan, during the unveiling of the new registration exercise on Wednesday, explained that the exercise is geared towards expanding the already robust party membership base and increasing its membership to about 6.9 million active members.
The statement read in parts, “In keeping with the strategic desire to get at least 6.9m Akwa Ibom people as members, the PDP in the state has commenced a fresh membership registration and reassessment campaign.
“Every week, thousands of Akwa Ibom people continue to reach out to members of our party across the different strata, expressing their genuine desire to register as bona fide members of the PDP.
“Also, every day, we have people who turn 18 and want to belong to our party which is the most preferred political party by Akwa Ibomites.”
“Therefore, this membership registration and reassessment exercise, apart from being a directive of the National Headquarters of our party, is also our way of opening our doors to new members, while also reassessing and updating the membership status of our old members.
“This phase of membership registration and reassessment which is targeted at both new and old members is billed to commence from Thursday, May 16, 2024 and end on Friday, May 31, 2024,” he noted.
According to the statement, Governor Umo Eno had cautioned that no chairman should demand a dime from anyone as a condition for registration and reassessment of membership.
