Political leaders from Ikorodu and Epe divisions in Lagos State have flagged off campaigns to produce the candidate who will fill the Lagos East Senatorial seat, made vacant by Senator Bayo Osinowo’s demise, reports
But party faithful in Ikorodu are not deterred as they believe they have what it takes to get the nod of the party and its leaders in the race for the APC ticket. Findings by The Nation revealed that the division is also not lacking in willing aspirants for the plum job. As at the last count, not less than three notable chieftains of the party have openly signified interest in contesting for the senate ticket.
It is not only within the ruling APC that Ikorodu boasts of capable hands as the race for the senatorial seat hots up. The opposition Peoples Democratic Party in the division too is not left out of the clamour for the division to produce Senator Osinowo’s replacement. A reputable educationist and respected politician, he served for eight years as commissioner in the administration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu between 1999 and 2007.
“As someone who once contested for the governorship ticket of the party with all seriousness but had to step down for the eventual winner, you will agree with me he has the much needed network beyond Ikorodu,” Abiodun Balogun, an ardent supporter, said.Reports have it that Kaoli enjoys the support of Senator Osinowo’s political family as well as that of the majority of elected and appointed political office holders in the senatorial district.
