The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has warned state chairmen and other party officials against demanding registration fees from support groups, stressing that registration is free.

n

In a statement ​‌‍​‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‍​⁠​‌​‌‌​signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Osa, Director in Abuja on Friday, the party said registration of support groups did not attract any fee.

n

He said the registration was the exclusive responsibility of its Directorate of Support Groups at the national headquarters in Abuja.

n

The national publicity secretary therefore directed all inquiries and registration requests to the Directorate, warning that no state chapter or official was authorised to register support groups or collect money for the process.

n

“All State Chapters of the party are hereby directed to be properly guided and to comply strictly with this directive,” he said.

n

He said that any violation of the directive would attract appropriate disciplinary action in accordance with the party’s constitution.

n

Director said the party valued the support and partnership of support groups, including the Obidient and Kwankwasiya Movements.

n

He added that the party would continue to provide an enabling environment for the groups to work toward the party’s success at all levels.
