Error on Tinubu’s slip as APC targets 100 million Nigerians [PHOTOS]

On Saturday, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, revalidated his APC membership in Ikoyi, Lagos.

There is however, a big mistake in the membership slip displayed by Tinubu. The date on the slip bears February 9, 2021 instead of February 6, 2021, which is today’s date. This has been causing uproar on the social media.

Also, Tinubu’s slip has his phone number boldly written, which is 08027772300. Tinubu displayed the slip for all to see.

Bashir Ahmad, Personal Assistant on New Media to President Muhammadu Buhari displayed the photos on his twitter handle on Saturday.

One Olusanya Remilekun first drew attention to the error, saying “Please Sir there is a mistake on the slip today is 06th Feb 2021 and @AsiwajuTinubu slip is carrying 9th Feb 2021… May God help us!”

Another twitter user wrote: “09/02/2021 …. Nigeria is a cruise but today is 06/02/2021 …@BashirAhmaad thought you checked this before you posted it.”

Meanwhile, the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has said that the ongoing membership registration and revalidation exercise of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is targeted at making over one hundred million Nigerians members of the ruling party.

According to Lawan, the exercise was conceived to further democratize the party ahead of the 2023 General Elections and also reposition the APC to dominate the country’s political space by winning more elective seats at the state and federal levels of government.

The Senate President made this known immediately after revalidating his membership of the party at Katuzu ward in Bade local government Area of Yobe North Senatorial District on Saturday.

Lawan while speaking to journalists said the registration and revalidation exercise would afford the youths a critical role in governance, and provide Nigerians at the grassroots the opportunity of being major stakeholders in the nation’s decision making process.

He added that the exercise became imperative in view of the need to weed out members of the APC who had decamped to other political parties and are still recorded in the party’s register and also to afford new or intending members the opportunity to get registered.

“The youths, who will be the majority of those that would register, will now have very critical role to play in the politics of APC and the democratic process of Nigeria.

“I also want to say that this exercise is essential because we have names of people who have decamped to other political parties and yet their names are in the register of APC.
