The All Progressives Congress, APC, has said that the 2023 general elections exposed the party’s fake membership figure.
National Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ajibola Basiru, said this during the flag off of train-the-trainer workshop on e-registration of APC members, in Abuja, on Wednesday.
He wondered why President Tinubu scored less than 10 million votes despite claims that the party has 45 million members.
“If we have that membership of 45 million, how come we went to the poll and got votes of less than 10 million? In line with Amilcar Cabral’s doctrine of ‘tell no lies, claim no easy victories’, that has exhumed the lie.
“In exposing that, it is not to ridicule anybody. It is to know that when a child falls, he will look at the front. But when an elder falls, he will look back to see where he made a mistake. We made a mistake because the register of the party was a tool for fighting causes we don’t know. The weaponisation of the party register led to corruption,” he said.
