| Senator Gbenga Ashafa |
Senator Gbenga Ashafa appears to have heeded the lessons of
an ancient proverb:a bird in hand, being worth more than two in the bush.
Contrary to speculations that he will be running for the
governorship position of Lagos State in the forthcoming elections, Senator
Gbenga Ashafa has now disclosed that rather than governor, he will be
contesting for a second term to represent the Lagos East Constituency in the
national assembly.
Ashafa’s declaration was contained in a statement released
on his behalf by his media aide, Babatunde Adegunju.
According to the statement: “In a bid to give a clear
direction on his political ambition which has been the subject of many debates
and analyses bordering on the forthcoming gubernatorial elections in Lagos
state, Senator Ashafa has declared his intention to run for a second term in
the 2015 general elections.
“He will be vying for a second term as the Senator to
represent Lagos East Senatorial District at the Upper Chamber of the National
Assembly come February 2015. This public declaration of interest was made known
recently during the assembly of the APC apex body in Lagos East Senatorial District,
which held at Epe.”
It however quoted Ashafa as saying that he reached the
conclusion to return to the senate after series of consultations.
“After series of consultations with our political leaders, I
have concluded that I will run for a second term in office as a Senator to
represent the good people of Lagos East Senatorial District in the Senate come
2015,” Ashafa said.
