Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Lagos state chapter has nominated Tokunbo Abiru, a former Commissioner for Finance in the state as a replacement for the late Senator Bayo Osinowo, who represented Lagos East senatorial district until his death last month.

Born in 1964, Abiru, a key loyalist of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is the current Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Polaris Bank.

The Economics graduate from Lagos State University, served during the tenure of Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, now Minister of Works and Housing.

He is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN). Also, an Honorary Senior Member of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN).

During Abiru’s time as Commissioner for Finance, Lagos State floated a successful N80 billion bond. He further instigated discussions on taxation in Lagos State after the discovery of over 5.5 million tax evaders in 2013.

He resigned his appointment as Commissioner in 2013, to take up an executive role in First Bank Nigeria Ltd.

A credible source in the party who confirmed the development to Daily Independent said Abiru was thd choice of majority of party leaders especially in the Governors Advisory Council (GAC).

On the claim by some that he is not a well-grounded politician, he said Abiru has been making some political moves in the senatorial district such as empowerment and other people-oriented policies which has endeared him to the people.

Weakness is a choice but Ambode's weakness is legendary. Even when this replacement is needed, he couldn't even get nominated to fly the APC flag in a bid to become a senator. Ambode today is a political rag because life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage, and he lacks courage. Weldone Obaseki for having brave balls in dismissing a greedy political godfather.

Compensation for helping them to cover Obasa multiple secret account.

Is this authentic? I honestly thought they were going to give Ambode something. This is not fair o

I think he declined.

Yayi and even late Osinowo aren't from Lagos State either.

Believe this news at your own peril. From Ambode to Dele Alake now to Abiru

Abiru? A surprise really. I knew him from his time as an ED in Skye bank and he was said to be the most quiet amongst the other 4 EDs, apparently seems like he was the most ambitious. Good luck to him.
