A purported membership card of the All Progressives Congress (APC) bearing the name and photograph of notorious bandits’ kingpin Bello Turji has gone viral on social media, sparking widespread controversy and raising questions about the authenticity of the card.
The identification card, which was sighted by THE CONCLAVE, appears to be a temporary membership slip issued by the APC.
It bears the APC logo, the name Mohammed Bello Turji, and a membership ID number.
The card also features the registration date as January 26, 2026, and indicates that Turji is a member of the Shikafi Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
As of the time of filing this report, the APC had yet to comment on the authenticity of the card.
The party’s leadership has not issued any statement confirming or denying the membership status of Bello Turji.
The emergence of this viral card has raised concerns about the credibility of the APC’s membership registration process and the potential implications for the party.
If the card is genuine, it would mean that a notorious bandits’ kingpin has been registered as a member of the ruling party, which could have far-reaching consequences for the party’s image and the security situation in the country.
THE CONCLAVE is working to verify the authenticity of the card and gather more information about the circumstances surrounding its issuance.
The investigation will aim to determine whether the card is genuine or a forgery, and what implications this may have for the APC and the security situation in Nigeria.
This story is developing, and THE CONCLAVE will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
