The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has fixed Tuesday, June 17, 2025, as the official date for the flag-off of its campaign ahead of the July 12 local government elections across the state.
According to a statement issued and signed by the Lagos APC Publicity Secretary, Hon Mogaji Oluseye Oladejo, the event will take place at the party’s State Secretariat in Ogba and will feature the formal presentation of candidates alongside the symbolic handover of party flags to them.
In the statement made available to journalists, Hon Oladejo disclosed that the campaign rollout has been decentralised across the three senatorial districts — Lagos East, Lagos Central, and Lagos West, with Lagos West further broken into zones due to its geographic size and political complexity.
The party revealed that local organising committees (LOCs) have been constituted in all local government areas to drive grassroots mobilisation and ensure broad-based participation throughout the state.
It was noted that the flag-off ceremony will be attended by party leaders, as well as elected and appointed officials at the federal, state, and local government levels, all of whom are expected to rally support and showcase unity across the party’s leadership structure.
The APC had earlier concluded its primaries, producing candidates for the Chairmanship, Vice Chairmanship, and Councillorship positions in the 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs), 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), and 377 wards across Lagos State.
In the statement, the party said its campaign would focus on highlighting the performance of outgoing council administrations, showcasing key social initiatives implemented over the last tenure, and reaffirming its dedication to infrastructural and social development in line with its progressive agenda.
The APC also urged eligible voters to turn out and perform their civic duty on July 12, describing local elections as a critical part of deepening Nigeria’s democratic values.
The campaign, according to the party, will formally end a day before the elections, in compliance with relevant electoral laws governing campaign timelines.
