The Lagos State All Progressives Congress (APC) said primary election to replace the two dead lawmakers from Lagos East senatorial and Kosofe Constituency will hold on Thursday. 

Recall that LagosspyNG had reported the death of Senator Bayo Osinowo and Tunde Braimoh many weeks ago.

Lagos APC Publicity Secretary Seye Oladejo said in a statement that the party had not picked candidates, urging the public to wait for the outcome of the shadow polls.

He said: “The party has not picked any candidate for the coming by-elections. It is not until Thursday when the primary election will be conducted that the candidates for the Lagos East Senatorial District and Kosofe 2 Constituency will be determined.”

Oladejo added: “Lagosians should disregard any speculation or rumours that the party has already picked Mr. Tokunbo Abiru as the party’s consensus candidate for the senatorial election.”
