The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has announced that it will officially launch its campaign on Tuesday, June 17, ahead of the July 12 local government elections.
The event is scheduled to take place at the party’s State Secretariat in Ogba.
The announcement was made in a statement issued by the Lagos APC Publicity Secretary, Mogaji Oluseye Oladejo, and made available to the press.
According to the statement, the campaign launch will feature the formal presentation of candidates and the symbolic handover of party flags.
The campaign has been decentralized across the three senatorial districts; Lagos East, Lagos Central, and Lagos West, with Lagos West further subdivided due to its size.
Party leaders, as well as elected and appointed officials from the federal, state, and local levels, are expected to attend the flag-off ceremony.
“The flag-off ceremony will be witnessed by party chieftains, elected and appointed officials of the party across the three tiers of government.
The party disclosed that local organizing committees, LOCs, have been established in each local government to drive grassroots mobilization and ensure widespread outreach throughout the state.
The APC had previously concluded its primaries, during which its Chairmanship, Vice Chairmanship, and Councilorship candidates emerged across the 20 Local Government Areas, LGAs, 37 Local Council Development Areas, LCDAs, and 377 wards in the state.
The party stated that its campaign will highlight the achievements of the outgoing local administrations, the implementation of impactful social initiatives, and its commitment to continued development in line with its progressive agenda.
“We wish to seize this opportunity to urge all voters to endeavor to perform their civic responsibility on the day of the elections to further grow our nascent democracy.
“The campaign will end a day before the elections in accordance with the extant laws.”
