The party’s National Secretary, Sen. Basiru Ajibola, led members of the APC National Working Committee to the flag-off ceremony held at the State House, Marina.

Also in attendance were the state chairman of the APC in Lagos, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, party secretaries from the six Southwest states, and other working committee members.
