He stated:
”APC is governed by a constitution and not by man, the constitution only provides for registration and I registered as a member of the APC in 2014 under the Interim national chairman Chief Bisi Akande.
“There is nothing in the APC constitution that says a member shall revalidate or renew its membership.
"Once you registered when you joined the party and you have not decamped, you are a member . So revalidation is strange to our constitution."
However, the former Edo governor on Tuesday, February 9, told journalists that he only complied with the order at Unit 1, ward 10, Iyamho, Etsako West local government area of the state for peace to reign.
Meanwhile, Dan Nwafor, the factional chairman of the APC faction in Imo state, had spoken on the membership registration and revalidation exercise which kicked off in the state on Monday, February 8.
