The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has likened the humiliating defeat suffered by the Peoples Democratic Party in the bye-elections conducted over the weekend as a comic relief from the recent pressure and challenges.

The state chairman of the PDP, ADEDEJI DOHERTY had in a statement described the election as a charade, accusing INEC of allocating votes to the APC.

He however said that relevant lessons have been learnt assuring that Lagos will be rescued from APC and its leadership, that have held down the State for over twenty years.

But in his reaction, the spokesman of the ruling APC, SEYE OLADEJO said it was a big surprise that the state chairman of the PDP could complain about the results of the elections that he was too busy to campaign for his candidates.

While they were busy conducting fake personal opinion polls, the ruling APC was reaching out to the voters with life changing programs, manifestos and policies that are relevant to the challenges of the day.

INEC on Sunday morning declared the candidates of the APC in the Lagos East Senatorial District and Kosofe Constituency two bye-elections, TOKUNBO ABIRU and FEMI SAHEED winners of the exercise.
