The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State will officially launch its campaign for the July 12 Local Government Elections on Tuesday, with a flag presentation ceremony to introduce its candidates.
APC Publicity Secretary, Mr. Seye Oladejo, announced the event in a statement on Saturday, noting that it will take place at the APC State Secretariat in Ogba.
According to Oladejo, the campaign has been decentralized along the three senatorial districts—Lagos East, Central, and West—with the West further split due to its size.
He added that party chieftains, as well as elected and appointed officials from all three tiers of government, will attend the flag-off ceremony.
“The party had earlier directed its leadership in the local governments to put in place Local Organizing Committees – LOC- to take the campaign to all the nooks, crannies and corners of the state to ensure effective and massive mobilisation.”
According to him, the APC campaign will focus on the various unprecedented landmark achievements of the out-going governments in the councils, the numerous timely social interventions and the promise to do more in tandem with the party’s progressive philosophy.
The spokesman urged all voters to endeavour to perform their civic responsibility on the day of the elections.
“The campaign will end a day before the elections in accordance with the extant laws,” he added.
Recalled that the APC Chairmanship, Vice Chairmanship and Councilorship Candidates in the 20 Local Governments Councils, 37 Local Council Development Areas and the 377 wards emerged during its primaries on May 10.
