Prof. Arunaye who disclosed that the ADC is owned by the masses as no single individual, no matter how wealthy he or she is, will be allowed to dominate the party, clarified that members are to pay a token of five hundred Naira as registration fee, adding that the registration is both electronic and physical.
He charged the ADC members to take the registration exercise very serious as that would determine the future of the party in the state.
According to Prof Arunaye, there is no faction of the party in the state as the party is one and united, adding that at the national level, the party was excited with the coming on board of Mr. Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate.
On the presidential primaries, he said that it would be thrown open for all, adding that at the end of the day, the party would rally round the presidential flag bearer.
At the strategic stakeholders meeting, ADC party registration booklets, ADC flag, ADC crested face caps and Nigerian flag were presented to the local government areas co-ordinators by a member of the transition committee, Barrister George Timinimi for the registration of members across the state.
