Who succeeds Senator Osinowo in Lagos East? - The Nation Nigeria

examines the profile of aspirants for the Lagos East senatorial seat, which became vacant, following the sudden demise of Senator Bayo Osinowo.

Many factors will likely shape the minor primary for the selection of the flag bearer for the by-election, which will be organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission within 90 days. The party would also have to decide the mode of senatorial primary in Lagos East in post-Osinowo period. Will the party opt for direct and indirect primary? Lagos East is still in a bad mood as many members have not recovered from shock. Therefore, an acrimonious primary will be a disservice to the memory of the departed senator.

The contest is not an exclusive APC affair, although the APC flag bearer is the candidate to beat. Former Peoples Democratic Party aspirants, particularly Abiodun Oyefusi and Babatunde Gbadamosi, are said to be reviving their ambition. Ikuforiji was Speaker for 11 years.The former polytechnic teacher and lawyer holds a doctorate degree from a reputable institution abroad. He is from the Eko-Epe section of the ancient town, which he represented before moving to Ikeja Constituency. The House of Assembly member?, Wale Raji, is also from the same section.
