FORMER deputy governor of Lagos State, Oluranti Idiat Adebule, has emerged candidate of the All Progressives Congess (APC) for Lagos West Senatorial seat, for the 2023 polls, scoring a total of 424 votes to emerge winner in the party’s primary election held on Saturday at the Agege Stadium.
Adebule defeated Senator Musiliu Obanikoro and Opeifa Kayode, who contested against her. Obanikoro polled 119 votes to come second, while Opeifa came third with four votes, with 10 void votes recorded in the exercise that had 557 delegates accredited to vote.
Obanikoro, a former minister, in his reaction through his Campaign Organisation, expressed dissatisfaction with the outcome of the election, stating that the declared winner was not even qualified to stand for the exercise.
The organisation, in a statement released shortly after the exercise and signed by Tunji Adenbarin, stated that the exercise was fraught with intimidations and other malpractices which it said it would address with the party in due course.
