The Senator
representing the good people of Lagos East Senatorial District at the upper
chamber, Senator Gbenga Ashafa has finally accepted defeat after the primaries
of the party in Lagos which saw a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly,
Hon. Bayo Osinowo clinching the party’s ticket for the senate.
Here is the speech
from the Senator, made available to us.
Good People of Lagos
East Senatorial District,
Over the past 7 years
and a half years, I have enjoyed the mandate and support of both the leadership
and the members of our party to serve as the Senator representing Lagos East
Senatorial District. This is a mandate that I have held with the utmost
responsibility which such high office entails.
In this period of
time, in line with the progressive ideology of our party I have been able to
build on the reputation of excellent representation that has become synonymous
with Lagos East flowing directly from the standard set for me by my
predecessors in office. I have endeavoured to Distinguish myself amongst my
colleagues in order to ensure that my representation would be both a source of
pride to you and to attract value to our district, state and nation as a whole.
The events of the past
few weeks in the build up to the Senatorial Primaries of our Party in Lagos
East have led to quite a level of apprehension within the district.
In the light of the
foregoing, and upon due consultation with party leaders and relevant
stakeholders, I believe that the time has come for me to sacrifice my ambition
for the unity and continuity of our party at the senatorial level and across
all elective offices. Hence, I hereby release my unopposed ticket to the
leadership of the party in Lagos State.
To this end, I would
like to appreciate the leadership of our party at the State and National
levels, our members and constituents alike for the opportunity afforded me to
serve. This is an opportunity that I do not take lightly or for granted. I
would also like to appreciate the magnanimity and generosity of Asiwaju Bola
Ahmed Tinubu towards me throughout this journey.
Consequently, I urge
all my followers and supporters across the district to support all the
candidates of our party the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State and
Nigeria as a whole in the forthcoming elections in 2019. I remain committed to
the principles and ideals of our party and will continue to contribute my quota
in service to both our party and the Nation. I stand with APC!
