We have seen a report with the above-mentioned caption purportedly from globalexcellenceonline.com. This report is nothing but what it is: wild rumour, fake news. It’s a figment of the imagination of the authors.
To set the record straight, prominent journalist, highly-reverted editor and former Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Lagos State, Mr. Dele Alake, has not indicated any interest whatsoever in the seat. He is also not nursing any intention to do so, though he is widely known to be highly qualified for the position.
The APC leaders and stakeholders in Lagos are presently meeting minds in a bid to put forward another formidable candidate to replace the experienced lawmaker and well-loved Senator Bayo Osinowo aka Pepperito who has gone to be with his creator. The consultations and deliberations in conjunction with the Lagos East APC are still ongoing. When they are concluded, all concerned will be duly informed.
This report appears to be a deliberate attempt by their sponsors to torpedo that ongoing process and stampede the APC leaders into picking a particular candidate without due process. The mentioning of Mr. Alake’s name who is known to be unconnected with the process is just a smokescreen. This is a disservice to the people of Lagos East and the memory of Senator Osinowo.
Please discountenance this report and it’s destructive intention.
SIGNED
Lagos APC Chairman, Alhaji Tunde Balogun
