The All Progressives Congress has debunked a poll that predicted victory for the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the upcoming Lagos East Senatorial Bye-election scheduled for December 5.
The party in a statement by its spokesman, Seye Oladejo said the poll aside from being unrealistic, shows the desperate nature of the organisers. Oladejo said from the reality on the ground, its candidate, Tokunbo Abiru remains the candidate to beat.
Full Statement Below
Our attention has been drawn to the nightmarish forecast of an out of character victory by a faceless and nameless opinion poll organizers of PDP victory in the rescheduled Lagos East Senatorial bye-election.
The fact that they couldn’t name the poll organizers can best be described as the stuff of fiction and hallucination typical of an opposition party that is fast going into extinction.
However, we’re not taken aback by the sudden last minute blabbing in response to its campaign that has gone largely comatose in the past few days.
The fact that the background, credentials, and integrity of their candidate has been subject to public scrutiny would naturally elicit face saving measures.

However, it remains bad manners to award yourself marks in a contest that is still days ahead.
Our candidate, Tokunbo Abiru, remains the candidate to beat. He represents a refreshing breath of politics with a difference. Lagos East deserves a Senator with an impeccable character, unquestionable credentials, and a rare combination of private and public sector experience.
While we acknowledge the incredible diligence of Gbadamosi on social media, he will do well to note for future escapades that elections are won by reaching out to the real people in the homesteads , market places, community leaders, youth organizations, etc
