Labour Party (LP) is set to launch a mobile App to fast-track registration of members across the country.
Amb Aju Elumelu, Deputy Director Media and Communications of the Labour Party Mobilisation & Integration Directorate, made this known in a statement.
The Labour Party Directorate on Mobilization and Integration, in a proposal signed by the Director General Mr. Marcel Ngogbehei and sent to the LP National Working Committee (NWC), through the Party’s National Chairman Bar. Julius Abure, said it’s time to transform the operations of the Party into a world class organisation, comparable to international standards.
On receiving the proposal, the party’s National Chairman, Barr Julius Abure promised to give this accelerated action, saying that the Party is more focused on building and expanding its Structure across the country and preparing to win the 2027 Presidential elections with H. E Peter Obi, noting that this App will be the game changer.
Abure expressed satisfaction with the initiative as this will enable millions of electorates to register with less troubles and participate in Party congresses and conventions.
The mobile App will facilitate seamless registration from anywhere in the world, and provide a platform for direct engagement between party members and leaders, help validate membership data on the go, and could also be a source of verifiable data which the party can use to organise ward, state and national congresses and conventions and also support the polling unit agents management.
“This platform will give the necessary assurances as per the realtime membership figures across the globe at any point in time; giving an indication of the party’s membership and voting strength”, Abure noted.
They advised the general public to beware of scammers who often pose as party officials as the app will eliminate all cases of misrepresentation and misinformation.
The Labour Party Directorate on Mobilization & Integration has set a target to mobilize millions of intending members into the Labour Party within the shortest possible time, and an online real-time membership registration platform, which will provide facilities to allow ward level membership validation by ward chairmen has become a key requirement.
“We propose developing a mobile application specifically designed for Labour Party membership registration, membership validation using uniquely assigned QR Codes. Party membership can simply be validated by scanning the party members QR codes on the spot, using any mobile device. This can be used to vet party members for congresses and conventions, thereby eliminating the malpractices often involved with this process. This Labour Party Mobile App will streamline the registration process, facilitate membership profile management, and provide a platform for engagement between party members and leaders.
“The teaming population of our Members and potential members both in Nigeria and Diaspora expect digital solutions that are easy to use, secure, and accessible on-the-go, where they can register and track their membership status and keep in touch with Party information and activities”, the proposal stated.
