By The Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District, Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru has secured the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) unopposed to contest in the 2023 elections.
Abiru, who chairs the Senate Committee on Industries, cleared all the 344 votes cast by delegates at the primary election which took place on Saturday at CMD, Magodo Area of Ikosi Isheri LCDA.
Announcing the final results, the returning officer, Mr Fouad Oki declared the Lagos East Senator as the winner of the election.
Delivering his acceptance speech, Abiru who was overwhelmed by the massive support he got from the delegates promised that he would not relent in his #DoingGood agenda for the people of Lagos East.
The Senator also thanked the leaders of the APC and party members, saying he felt honoured to have been the sole aspirant in the race.
‘’Haven received this affirmation from the party and our people, I would like to assure you that I will remain guided by the priorities and commitment to this cause which I have constantly asserted in the course of the exercise of this sacred mandate,” he said.
It would be recalled that Abiru was elected Lagos East Senator in December 2020 during the bye-election occasioned by the demise of Senator Bayo Osinowo.
