Existing members not affected by the membership drive, PDP NWC clears the air

The National Working Committee, NWC of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says the on-going membership drive and registration of new members, does not affect existing members of the party, insisting the membership of old members, remains valid.

The PDP in a statement released this afternoon, Monday July 1, noted that the clarification became necessary, following 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.

The statement, authored by the National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, explained: “The NWC in clear terms clarifies 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 our Party across the country.

“The NWC further clarifies that the membership status, rights and privileges of already existing members remain valid and in no way whatsoever affected by the membership drive.

“Consequently, 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.

“The PDP urges all members to continue to work together in the drive to further strengthen our Party for the task ahead.”
