Former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, has rejected the outcome of the recently conducted primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State.
Obanikoro, who was widely tipped to emerge winner of the Lagos governorship primary, lost to Mr. Jimi Agbaje, who only joined the party about four months ago.
Announcing the result of the primary, Chairman of the PDP electoral committee for Lagos, Senator Shehu Kumo, said Agbaje scored 432 votes as against the 346 by Obanikoro. The other aspirants, Babatunde Gbadamosi got 21 votes; Tokunbo Kamson, 46 votes and Adedeji Doherty, 21 votes.
In his reaction to the announced figures, Mr. Obanikoro insisted that there was no election as what took place was a sham.
In a series of tweets via his Twitter handle @MObanikoro, the ex-minister vowed that “until the necessary corrections are made, we will not rest”.
