The National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Felix Morka, has denied the allegation that the party is compelling civil servants to partake in its ongoing e-registration across the country.
Morka made this rebuttal on Thursday while fielding questions in an interview on Arise Television monitored by DAILY POST.
He said that they were already struggling to register existing members and those willing to register, stressing that nobody has the time or incentive to pursue those who are not willing.
He said: “With every system, people have a tendency to make all kinds of allegations. It’s easy to allege, but to substantiate, I think it’s the challenging part of that whole thing.
“The existing members of the party are all crowded, struggling to register because the enthusiasm is high, they want to register.
“But sometimes we have downtime with technology, with network systems and all of that. But the idea that civil servants or anybody is being compelled to register, that’s a bit almost unimaginable at this point.
“Who has that time to go compelling people who don’t want to register, or who are civil servants, or who are not disposed to registering, to actually register? To me, it’s actually ridiculous to suggest.
“Those who have a reason and interest to register are right now struggling trying to register because of some of the congestions on the networks and all of that.”
“And don’t forget that we have outlined districts around the country where network connectivity is not that great, and in those areas, we have device systems and now deploying technologies that allow supervisors and agents to register people momentarily on the platform,” he added.
