The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is set to kick off its official campaign for the upcoming local government elections on Tuesday.
The campaign launch will include the symbolic presentation of party flags to its candidates.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the party’s Publicity Secretary, Mr. Seye Oladejo, confirmed that the flag presentation event will take place at the APC State Secretariat in Ogba.

Oladejo noted that the campaign strategy has been decentralized and will run across the three senatorial districts—East, Central, and West. Due to the vast size of the Western district, it has been further split for logistical reasons.
“The flag-off ceremony will be witnessed by party chieftains and 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 Organising Committees (LOC) to take the campaign to all the nooks, crannies and corners of the state to ensure effective and massive mobilisation.”
He explained that the campaign would spotlight the accomplishments of outgoing local governments, as well as past and present community-focused programs, while also reiterating the party’s commitment to further development under its progressive agenda.
Voters were urged to actively take part in the democratic process by turning out in large numbers on election day.
“The campaign will end a day before the elections in accordance with the extant laws,” he added.
APC candidates for Chairmanship, Vice Chairmanship, and Councillorship positions across Lagos emerged during the primaries held on May 10. These include representatives for the 20 Local Government Councils, 37 Local Council Development Areas, and 377 wards.
