In December 2014, the Lagos state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) held its primaries to determine the party’s flagbearer for the 2015 elections. In Lagos state where the APC,- and its earlier incarnations,(ACN, AD)- had been in government since 1999, the primaries were considered the battle royale in the race for the government house. Except for the occurrence of an act of God, whoever emerged victorious was certainly on the way to occupying the seat in Alausa.
