The party re-affirmed that old members are not expected to take part in the new process.
The statement reads:
“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.
“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.
