It also reiterated the need for enlistment  of credible persons as Polling Agents, Ward Collation Agents, LGA Collation Agents and State Collation Agents  and the need for timely submission of their records to the National Secretariat for onward submission to INEC.
Another important issue discussed has to do with,
“Correct recording of members’ details in Polling Units’ Membership Registers to be collated by States, according to Wards and LGAs and be submitted to the National Secretariat as States’ Membership Registers of party.

The need for States to ratify members into vacant and inactive State Executive Committee offices in line with the Circular on sharing of party offices at congresses was also at the front burner during the discussion

Also discussed was the need to have in place active State Bank Accounts to which the Chairmen, Secretaries and Treasurers of Chapters are signatories in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the PRP.

The meeting also deliberated on the urgent need to regularize the memberships of old party members as well as bringing new members into the party and for their records to be documented according to Polling Units with the aim of developing an updated national register of members for the party.

The statement challenged members at the State level to own the membership drive project by following it through with commitments that guarantee continuous growth of the party noting that chapters that flaunt constitutional provisions of the party can accordingly be disciplined.

It urged all registered members to collect their Voters Card (if they haven’t), and be ready to vote PRP candidates in the 2023 General Elections.

The statement pointed out that the summits will equally be held at State, Local Government and Ward chapters of the party across the federation for the realization of the aforementioned objectives.
