Name substitution: Court orders APC, INEC to recognise Eshilokun

Eshilokun
A Federal High Court in Lagos on Friday declared Mr Wasiu Eshilokun as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in Lagos Island Constituency 1 for the April 11 election into the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Eshilokun, a former Secretary of the APC in Lagos State, had challenged the substitution of his name with that of one Hakeem Masha who, he said, lost to him in the primary election.

According to him, he polled 186 votes to beat seven other candidates in the primary election conducted by the APC to select a candidate for Lagos Island Constituency 1.
