The battle to replace Senate Minority Whip, Senator Ganiyu Olanrewaju Solomon, as the Senator representating Lagos West Senatorial District in the Upper Legislative Chamber, assumed a more interesting and competitive edge with the decision of the state deputy governor, Princess Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, to run for the seat on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Orelope-Adefulire who before her selection as the state number two was formally a Commissioner for Women Affairs in the state.
