Immediate past National Chairman of the All Progressive party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has come out to say that APC‘s revalidation of membership exercise is against the party’s constitution.

He recently revealed this while answering questions from the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the exercise is supposed to be a review of the register to bring in those who have joined newly, and remove those who has exited or died, but that is no longer the case.

He added that APC is governed by a constitution and not by man, so its laws to be respected at all times.

His words, “APC is governed by constitution and not by man, the constitution only provides for registration and I registered as a member of the APC in 2014 under the Interim national chairman Chief Bisi Akande.”

“There is nothing in the APC constitution that says a member shall revalidate or renew its membership. Once you registered when you joined the party and you have not decamped, you are a member . So revalidation is strange to our constitution,”

“I have only done this because I want peace to reign but in doing this, we have to be careful not to create constitutional breach.”

“By asking me to revalidate my membership means I was not a member when I have never leave the party, so I think the correct language should be eithe reviewing or updating because it make sense to review voters register due to the new members that have joined or those that have exited,”

“So what this means now is that I have come here to do another registration but I insist that my registration never expired within the provision of the APC constitution.”

“As for me, I think we should just moved on, I am happy I just did it but I don’t need it because my membership has not expired and it can only expired when I decamped, and if I am returning then I can revalidate.”

“History didn’t just begin today, if we don’t have a valid register, how did we conduct the congress in 2015 in which 16 million registered APC members voted to nominate president Muhammadu Buhari before the general election.”

“I am a founding governor of APC, I am not a creation of APC, some of those who are rowdy here and there now came to join APC, but we formed the APC.”
