A former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, has failed to secure the senatorial ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Lagos West.
Obanikoro lost out to former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Idiat Oluranti Adebule, at the primaries held in Lagos on Saturday.
His defeat came less than 24 hours after Babajide, his son, lost his re-election ticket to the House of Representatives.
The younger brother of Oba Saheed Elegushi defeated Obanikoro’s son in the APC Primary for Eti-Osa Federal Constituency.
Meanwhile, in Saturday’s primaries, Adebule, who served as Deputy to Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, polled 424 votes while Obanikoro trailed with 119 Votes.
A former Commissioner for Transportation in the state, Mr. Kayode Opeifa, came a distant third with four votes.
A total of 557 delegates voted in the primaries held in Lagos on Saturday, and there were 10 void votes.
