The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Monday commenced its E-registration exercise for membership drive, with a set target of one million members at the end of the exercise.
Flagging off the Edo end of the nationwide exercise, Chairman of the state’s E-registration Committee, Kabiru Adjoto, expressed optimism that with the cooperation of party members, stakeholders and leaders, the exercise would be successful and that the target of one million members would be achieved.
Adjoto, while stating that the party was setting up a e-registration Technical Academy in each of the three Senatorial Districts to make the exercise hitch-free, noted that the entire exercise would be leadership driven.
“We are also setting up e-registration Technical Academy in each of the Senatorial District, where fresh agents will be receiving adequate training throughout the period of this exercise. Meanwhile, the entire exercise will be leadership-driven; party leaders are encouraged to help deepen awareness creation through diverse publicity mechanisms such as sponsorship of jingles on Television and Radio as well as banners which may even bear the image of the sponsor”, he announced.
Adjoto further said, “Party leaders are also at liberty to recommend individuals to us who they wish to sponsor as ward field agents for the exercise; details of such persons should be forwarded to Edo PDP e-registration Help Desk Centre located at number 59, Airport Road, Benin-City”.

He noted that the state governor, being chairman of the E-registration, at the national level, could not afford to fail.
