As at last count, 13 House of Representatives members on APC platform will not return when the eighth Assembly convene in June, 2014 from Lagos state.
Six of them: Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Ikorodu Federal Constituency; Jumoke Okoya-Thomas, Lagos Island Federal Constituency 1; Monsuru Owolabi, Lagos Mainland Federal Constituency; Dauda Kako-Are, Mushin Federal Constituency 1; Ganiyu Hamzat, Mushin Federal Constituency 2; and Rafeequat Onabamiro, Badagry Federal Constituency; all withdrew from the race. Seven of them were beaten in the primary conducted today, Sunday, 7th December, 2014.
The shock of the primary was the defeat of Deji Jakande in Mushin Federal Constituency 1.
He was humiliated by immediate past Chairman of Odi-Olowo Local Council Development Area, Taofeek Adeyemi Alli.
Alli scored a whopping 235 delegate votes while Jakande was left with a paltry eight votes.
The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu will not be smiling right now. His son, Fouad was beaten in the race to pick APC ticket for Lagos Island Federal Constituency 1 after the withdrawal of the incumbent, Jumoke Okoya-Thomas from the race.
The ticket was won by current Special Adviser to Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, on Youths, Sports and Social Development, Dolapo Badru.
To pour salt on the Akiolus' injury, Fouad came a distant fourth in the race with 21 votes. Badru had 128 votes; Fatade, 67; and Ayo, 58.
Another incumbent, Alao Batola was also defeated by Hon. Jide Jimoh for the Lagos Mainland federal Constituency ticket.
