The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it has received reports that some existing members of the Party in some Wards in certain States are being requested to revalidate their membership in the on-going membership drive and registration of new members.
This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja by Hon. Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary of the party.
The NWC also clarified that the on-going membership drive and registration of new members is only targeted at providing opportunity and access to eligible Nigerians who are enthusiastic and surging in their millions to register as members of the Party across the country.
The NWC further clarified that the membership status, rights and privileges of already existing members remain valid and in no way whatsoever affected by the membership drive.
Consequently, the party said no existing member is expected or required to have his or her membership revalidated as such individuals remain bona-fide members of the Party and not subject to any form of revalidation.
“All members and officers of our Party especially at all Electoral Wards across the country should take note of the above and be guided accordingly.
“The NWC again acknowledges the continuing influx of millions of Nigerians into our Party in the on-going PDP membership drive exercise across the country.
