By The All Progressives Congress candidate for the Lagos East Senatorial seat, Tokunbo Abiru, has debunked allegations that a suit has been instituted challenging his eligibility to contest for the Lagos East Senatorial Bye-election.
In a statement issued by the Lagos APC Publicity Secretary, Hon. Oluseye Oladejo, the allegation which was based on account of a purported double registration as a voter, was regarded as false.
“The allegation, as contained in that report is not only false but we find it laughable. It is apparent that the Plaintiffs have not availed themselves the original copy of the Electoral Act 2010 (As amended).
“We understand their panic, fear and unease on account of the overwhelming and calamitous defeat that awaits them on October 31.
“They should do well to ask the traducers of Willie Obiano (of Anambra State) and Yahaya Bello (of Kogi State) and avail themselves of several other Court decisions in that respect.
“Let them continue to chase shadows while we remain focused as we campaign and gather support in the nooks and crannies of the Lagos East Constituency.
“We assure our teaming supporters and the entire electorate that our candidate’s eligibility is unassailable and by God’s grace he will emerge victorious at the election come October 31.” Hon. Oluseye said.
