“Our doors are open to all members of political parties who want to join us. We expect some PDP members, who really are willing to join us in developing Lagos to do so.

“Many of them have been showing interest and we are prepared to register them from the PDP to the AA and others. We are happy to accept them into the progressives,” Balogun said.

The caretaker chairman urged all APC members across the length and breadth of the state to troop out for the membership registration and revalidation.

“My advice to our members is to come out en mass as members of the APC when the registration starts.

“They must come out en mass as members of the APC to register. I appeal to them all to come out when the exercise starts.

Balogun noted the exercise had commenced with the symbolic registration of President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, followed by some other notable APC leaders as a mark of honour before general members.

He said that more information would be made available on the exercise before the end of the week.

According to him, what is going on now is the movement of inaugurated registration committee from Abuja to different states for the exercise.

When asked about the expected number of members the party intended to register, Balogun said the exercise should be allowed to start first.

NAN recalls that the exercise commenced on Jan. 25 with a series of activities, including the inauguration of membership registration and revalidation committee at the APC Secretariat in Abuja.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday revalidated his membership of the APC in his constituency in Daura, Katsina.

As a young dynamic business and entrepreneurship writer, and author cum small business owner, what came into my mind as we navigate the storms of COVID-19, was a common English phrase Adages, Proverbs, first recorded in Fuller’s Gnomologia, 1732: ‘A stitch in time saves nine’ which was translated to literally, solve the problems right now! Why procrastinating? If we, as a nation wants to break away from past mistakes, and present mistakes, we should hold the bull by the horn right now. And avoid the roads of political expediency. That is exactly what the stitch in time simply stood for. Promptly address issues posed by Coronavirus. By quickly sewing up of a small hole or tear in a piece of material, so saving the need for more stitching at a later date when the whole ha...
