PDP Launches E-Registration Drive in Sokoto, Targets Expanded Membership

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) launched an electronic registration and sensitization exercise in Sokoto State on Wednesday, aiming to expand membership and improve data integrity. The drive took place at Dankeni Guest House and is part of the party’s nationwide effort to digitize its membership register.

Questions arose about the absence of state executives at the event, with former Commissioner for Water Resources Dahiru Yusuf Yabo explaining it was due to recent political realignments. He reassured that the party remains strong, emphasizing efforts to mobilize and reposition across the country.

Highlighting national party dynamics, Yabo referenced Minister Nyesom Wike’s role, noting that alignments are common in politics, but the focus should remain on strengthening the party.

The e-registration system, explained by former aide Hayyatu Tafida, is designed to enhance transparency and prevent identity misuse, while still integrating traditional ward-level documentation. Facilitators are being trained to help grassroots members complete the process.

Stakeholder Hadiza Abubakar emphasized that the exercise aims to bridge the digital gap and dismissed claims of factionalism, affirming that the PDP has a single recognized leadership and plans to field candidates in upcoming elections.

The initiative underscores the PDP’s efforts to rebuild and consolidate its base, even amid internal shifts in states such as Sokoto.
