Ganduje further noted that the party's performance in the last election differed from the actual strength of the party in terms of numbers.
He said:
“If you will recall, we had several 41 million members. But during the presidential election, we had only eight million. What happened to the rest? This is why we need to be digital and ensure that we are working with the correct data.
“Another step that we have taken is that we are reviewing our registration electronically now. The work has already started. You should be ready that all our members will be electronically registered so that we have an exact number physically.”
Meanwhile, Ganduje also revealed that the APC mapped out plans to set up a National Institute of Democratic Studies to help Nigerians shape their pattern of behaviour in alignment with democracy and political ideology.
