Not less than 5 All Progressives Congress (APC) members of the Lagos State House of Assembly have had their hopes dashed when they were defeated in the primaries organised by the party to pick its state Assembly candidates. Mrs. Omowunmi Olatunji-Edet representing Oshodi-Isolo 2, Ramota Akinola-Hassan representing Amuwo Odofin 2, Bashiru Oloto, Lagos Mainland 2; Kabir Lawal, Surulere 1 and Ahmed Ipoola Omisore, Ifako Ijaye 2 all lost the elections.
Edet was beaten by Ladi Ajomale, son of the state chairman of the APC, Henry Oladele Ajomale. It was a landslide victory as Ajomale’s son polled 250 votes while Edet could only get 37 votes. Ahmed Omisore, the House Committee chairman on Information, got 4 delegate votes. The ticket in the Ifako-Ijaye Constituency II was won by Rasheed Makinde, who polled 103 votes to push former chairman of Ojokoro Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Olabinjo to the second place with 93 votes.
