APC to Kick Off Campaign for Local Government Elections in Lagos
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State is gearing up for an exciting election season as it prepares to officially launch its campaign for the upcoming Local Government Elections set for July 12. The anticipated event will take place on Tuesday at the APC State Secretariat in Ogba, where candidates will receive their party flags in a ceremony that promises to be a vibrant showcase of political spirit.
Seye Oladejo, the APC Publicity Secretary, shared the news in a statement released over the weekend. He highlighted the decentralized nature of the campaign, which has been strategically organized across the three Senatorial districts of Lagos, with the Central district being divided into two due to its size. This careful planning aims to ensure that the party effectively engages with voters at every level.
The flag-off ceremony is expected to attract a crowd of party chieftains, elected officials, and appointed representatives from all tiers of government. Their presence will demonstrate the party’s unity and commitment to serving the people of Lagos State. “The campaign will focus on sharing the unprecedented achievements of the outgoing governments at the councils, showcasing our timely social interventions, and making promises to continue these positive changes,” remarked Oladejo.
In preparation for the campaign, the APC has directed its local government leadership to establish Local Organizing Committees (LOCs). These committees will work diligently to reach every nook and cranny of the state, ensuring that mobilization efforts are extensive and effective.
As the party embarks on this campaign journey, they emphasize the importance of civic engagement. “All voters are encouraged to fulfill their civic responsibilities on election day, as every vote counts in shaping the future of our communities,” Oladejo urged.
One notable aspect of this election cycle is the strong lineup of candidates that emerged from the primaries held on May 10, including Chairmanship, Vice Chairmanship, and Councilorship candidates across 20 Local Government Councils, 37 Local Council Development Areas, and 377 wards. The APC is optimistic that this robust selection will appeal to the electorate, reaffirming their commitment to progress and development in Lagos State.
As the campaign heats up, all eyes are on Lagos to see how the APC will campaign and connect with voters, promising to stay true to their progressive values while striving for a bright future for the state.
