Former deputy governor in Lagos State, Dr Idiat Adebule has won the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket to represent Lagos West Senatorial district at the Red Chamber.
Dr Adebule polled 424 delegates’ votes to defeat her challengers, the former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, who scored 119 and former Lagos State Commissioner for Transport, Kayode Opeifa, who recorded four votes while 10 votes were voided.
Chairman, Lagos Senatorial primary election committee, Chief Emeka Okafor declared Adebule as winner of the primary election held at the Agege Stadium, Agege on Saturday.
Meanwhile, a group for gender parity and positive political change in Lagos State, the Transformation Ambassadors (TTA) has commended the leadership of the party and delegates for the smooth conduct of the primaries in the district.
The convener of the group, Comrade Olufemi Omojuwa, described the emergence of the former deputy governor as a round peg in a round hole.
He said: “As a stakeholder in the Lagos West district, we are keen about political development and I must say, the emergence of Dr Idiat Adebule is a reflection of the votes of the delegates and the people’s choice.
