Ahead of the Local Government (LG) election in Rivers State, the state chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) on Thursday began its campaign flag-off.

New Telegraph reports that the rally, which is currently taking place at the Elechi Amadi Polytechnic, Rumuola, in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the state, is designed to canvass the electorate ahead of the August 30, LG election.

The Chairman of the party, Chief Tony Okocha, arrived early with members of the state executive for the event and was welcomed with a loud ovation.
