A chieftain of the party, however, told Daily Trust that lack of funding was responsible for the delay in the commencement of the exercise.
“Funding is the main reason why the exercise has not commenced in Abuja. You know, we don’t have a governor, the FCT senator is a PDP member and the area council chairmen are battling to run the affairs of their councils.
“Here, the minister is the leader but he is not a core politician, hence no fund is provided.
“Stakeholders are now struggling to raise funds for it. Apart from the minister, nobody has revalidated or registered in Abuja. We are anxious and awaiting the commencement of the registration,” he said, pleading not to be named.
Your anti-corruption war must be total, unsparing, APC charges EFCC Chair

Following Senate’s confirmation of presidential nominee, Abdulrasheed Bawa as the new and substantive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, the ruling All Progressives Congress APC has charged the anti-corruption tsar to be ‘total’ and ‘unsparing’ in fighting graft.
The party gave the charge on Thursday in a statement by the National Secretary of its Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee CECPC, Sen. John J. Akpanudoedehe.
APC said against the backdrop of its 2015 and 2019 presidential election victories, the fight against corruption was one of the major promises the President Muhammadu Buhari administration made to Nigerians.
Secretary of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Senator John J. Akpanudoedehe in a statement on Thursday said anti-graft war was one of the cardinal campaign promises of the APC in 2015 and 2019, and must be intensified.
“The APC urges Abdulrasheed Bawa’s to be guided by the stance of President Buhari that the fight against corruption must be total and unsparing.
“From advance fee fraud, money laundering, public sector corruption and other financial crime-related issues, economic and financial crimes are becoming increasingly sophisticated criminal activities which keep evolving with the times.
“To be steps ahead, the Abdulrasheed Bawa-led EFCC must invest in technology and ensure synergy, cooperation and partnership with relevant agencies, locally and internationally, to effectively prosecute the current administration’s war against graft.
