Wife of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Remi Tinubu, said her next target is to become the Senate Deputy President, as the only woman with a third mandate in the Senate.

Tinubu, who stated this yesterday, in an interview with The Guardian, expressed optimism that APC would continue to win in Lagos and other states, as long as the party continues to develop people and the country.

She lamented the participation of too many insignificant parties in the election, saying it makes it confusing and complicated for most of the illiterate voters, as well as money wasting and time consuming.

Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate in Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu won his Lateef Jakande/Femi Okunu polling unit 019, in yesterday’s Gubernatorial and House Assembly elections in the state.

He got a total of 124 votes, to defeat his closest rival, Jimi Agbaje of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who polled 26 votes.

Also, the APC House of Assembly candidate, Ishau Gbolahan, defeated his PDP counterpart with 114 votes against 30.

However, the polling unit experienced poor voter turnout with only 159 accredited voters out of the 1,098 registered in the unit.
