The shocking demise of the Senator representing the Lagos East Senatorial Constituency, Senator Bayo Oshinowo, has created a vacuum at the upper chamber of the national assembly. At the moment, though, the people of Lagos East and the entire Senate are still mourning the loss of their colleague, sooner or later, a replacement is imminent. The question, however, is who is likely to replace the late Senator especially now that a fresh election will have to be conducted.
It is safe to rule out the chances of the PDP going by their performance in the last Senatorial election, except of course the party is willing to consider one of their new entrants, Mr. Babatunde Gbadamosi. And while Gbadamosi could put up a better challenge than Princess Abiodun Oyefusi who put up a weak showing the last senatorial election against Senator Oshinowo. All indicators, therefore, point to a potential electoral success for the APC when eventually a by-election is conducted.
