DELTA State candidate of the All Progressives Congress, in the March 2019 gubernatorial election, Chief Great Ogboru, has said the ongoing membership registration/ revalidation exercise will put the party in a position to reassess its reward system.
He spoke to party supporters soon after receiving members of the Abiodun Aluko-led APC registration team, in his country home, Abraka community, Ethiope East Local Government Area, on Thursday.
Ogboru said, “I know as a party, we have not been too fair to ourselves especially in the reward system, and that is why the leadership of the party has decided to embark on this exercise. And it is on the strength of that commitment that am revalidating my membership.
