The Lagos Chapter of the All
Progressive Congress, APC has reacted to insinuations that the Party has
unanimously picked a senatorial candidate to replace the seat of late Senator,
Sikiru Adebayo Osinowo. This is coming after former commissioner in Lagos
Tokunbo Abiru resigned from a prominent Nigerian Bank and picked up a
nomination form for the senatorial race.
In a press statement released by
Hon, Oluseye Oladejo the publicity secretary, it was revealed that the party has
not picked a candidate for the highly revered senatorial seat and implore
Lagosians to ignore any gesture that suggests otherwise.
The statement reads;
“The party has not picked any
candidate for the forthcoming bye-elections. It is not until Thursday when the
primary will be conducted that the candidates for the Lagos East Senatorial
District and Kosofe 2 constituency will be determined.
“Lagosians should disregard any
speculation or rumors making the rounds that the party already has picked Mr.
Tokunbo Abiru as the party’s consensus candidate for the senatorial election.”
He implored Lagosians to tarry
until Thursday, September 3, 2020, when the party primary will be conducted for
the Lagos East Senatorial District and Kosofe 2 constituency
