\u201cI am fully satisfied with the choice I have made,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The governor launched a month-long APC membership registration exercise across all wards in the state on August 4.<\/p>\n

He stated that the initiative is designed to identify authentic party members and prevent impersonation within the party\u2019s ranks.<\/p>\n

Eno explained that the ongoing exercise would help streamline the party\u2019s internal structure and enhance grassroots mobilisation.<\/p>\n

As he welcomed new members to the APC, the governor encouraged them to remain focused and pay no attention to critics.<\/p>\n

He urged party members to rally behind President Bola Tinubu\u2019s administration, emphasizing that unity and collective effort are key to taking the APC to greater heights.<\/p>\n
