Lagos State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on members who intend to contest for the Senate’s vacant seat in Lagos East, occasioned by the recent death of the occupant, Senator Sikiru Bayo Osinowo, to start putting in their application, which should be forwarded to the state party secretariat, Ikeja, latest Monday, 6th of July 2020.
This directive was contained in a release issued on Sunday by the PDP State Organising Secretary, Hakeem Amode, saying the call came following the conclusion of the mourning period the party underwent in honour of its late Woman Leader, Hon. (Mrs) Sola Oladehinbo, who died a few weeks ago.
The party, while recalling that the Lagos East senatorial district seat became vacant due to the death of the senator representing the district, Senator Osinowo of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), said, “it is quite evident that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would soon announce a date when a ‘bye-election,’ will take place.”
