According to Mr Oladejo, the meeting will bring together APC leaders, elected and appointed officials, and all candidates contesting under the party’s platform.
It is scheduled to be held at noon on Monday at the State House, Marina.

“We’re confident that the landmark achievements of our local government councils in education, primary health care, housing, and social interventions, among others, will be rewarded with massive votes at the polls for all our candidates.”
The ruling party officially presented flags to its 57 chairmanship and 376 councillorship candidates on Tuesday.
