The Lagos State Chapter of All Progressives Congress has suspended its campaign for the general elections scheduled for 25 February and 11 March. 

In a statement on Tuesday,  the state chairman of the party, Hon. Cornelius Ojelabi said the decision was reached as a result of the scarcity of fuel and the pain occasioned by the Naira redesign. 

He empathised with the general public, especially the down trodden who are at the receiving end. 

Ojelabi said that it would be insensitive to forge ahead with the various rallies with the situation of things. 

He emphasised that members of APC are not immuned against the development as he has been inundated with several complaints. 

He joined his voice with those of other well-meaning Nigerians to call for the review of the Naira redesign policy to give it a human face and ameliorate the suffering of ordinary Nigerians. He equally appealed that petroleum products should be made available in order not to jeopardise the preparation  for the elections and reduce the negative economic impact. 

The party chairman enjoined all Lagosians to remain law abiding as all issues are resolved in due course.
