The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State has commenced its campaign for the August 22 local government and councillorship elections, urging party supporters to embrace peaceful electioneering, grassroots mobilisation and increased collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
The call was made during the flag-off of the party’s campaign in Ikwo Local Government Area, where Governor Francis Nwifuru, represented by Deputy Governor Patricia Obila, formally presented the party’s flag to the APC chairmanship candidate for Ikwo LGA, Henry Chidi Nwode, and his running mate.
Obila described the APC candidates as “tested, trusted and marketable,” urging supporters to embark on issue-based campaigns and avoid actions capable of undermining the peaceful conduct of the elections.
“As we present these candidates today, it is your responsibility to go into every community and market them. They are the best products in the field. Do not be distracted by negative propaganda because APC has presented competent candidates who will deliver quality leadership at the grassroots,” she said.
