APC Surulere Constituency I: Bakare Declares, Faces Desmond Elliot Showdown
Hon. Barakat Odunuga Bakare has officially declared her intention to contest for the Lagos State House of Assembly seat representing Surulere Constituency I, setting the stage for a keenly watched APC primary.
Speaking during her declaration, Bakare revealed that several aspirants had stepped down in her favour, leaving Desmond Elliot as her main challenger.
“The others stepped down and are supporting me and they’re all here, but the only person that didn’t step down and insisted on going to the primaries is Hon. Desmond Elliot. I wish him all the best, and I wish myself luck too. I’m praying that on Wednesday, I emerge as the APC candidate for the Lagos State House of Assembly, Surulere Constituency I.”
