The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State will officially commence its campaign for the July 12 local government elections on Tuesday.
The party will also present flags to candidates on the same day.
The APC Publicity Secretary in the state, Mr. Seye Oladejo, who disclosed this in a statement on Saturday, said the flag-handing over ceremony would be held at the party’s State Secretariat in Ogba.
Oladejo said: “The campaign has been decentralised along the three Senatorial districts of Lagos East, Central, and West, which has been broken into two because of its size.
“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 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 outgoing government in the councils, the numerous timely social interventions, and the promise to do more in tandem with the party’s philosophy.
The spokesman urged the people of the state 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.
The APC produced its chairmanship and councilorship candidates in the 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs), 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), and the 377 wards in the state on May 10.
