ADC addresses fake entries on membership portal
The African Democratic Congress has responded to reports of fake registrations on its digital membership platform. Bolaji Abdullahi, the party’s spokesperson, acknowledged the issue and said corrective actions have been taken. Despite these efforts, some loopholes reportedly remain, allowing unverifiable information to be submitted. The party is urging Nigerians to register properly and support its vision for transparent leadership.
Key takeaways
- Bolaji Abdullahi stated that anomalies on the registration portal have been corrected after observing fake entries, including those using the names of “world leaders” and “historical figures.”
- The downloadable membership card feature has been disabled to prevent circulation of cards with fake names and images.
- The portal now displays a notice that registrations are pending approval and membership cards will only be available after approval.
- Despite new features like live photo capture, the process can still be manipulated by covering faces or using unrelated objects.
- Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour dismissed the mockery, emphasizing that the online process is just the first step.
