EKO HOT BLOG gathers that an influential political think tank, Governors’ Advisory Council, GAC, have endorsed the former deputy governor of Lagos State, Dr Idiat Adebule for Senate.
This is coming after the relocation of Lagos West Senator Olamilekan Adeola to contest the Ogun State West Senatorial seat.
Adebule is also a member of the GAC, a powerful political group that determines who gets what in Lagos politics.
GAC was the initiative of a former governor of the state and national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to control the levers of power at the expiration of his second term in 2007.
Idiat Adebule, who was the deputy governor of Mr Akinwumi Ambode according to a reliable source was chosen because of her loyalty to the party, even when it was against her political ambition to do so in 2018.
The source who was privy to the arrangement said the GAC has settled for Adebule.
She’s likely to contend with another former deputy governor, Orelope Adejoke-Adefulire who is the Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari On Sustainable Development Goals, SDG, who’s also said to be interested in the Lagos west senate seat.

This online media platform recalls that Dr Adebule withdrew support for her boss, Akinwumi Ambode in 2018, during the governorship primaries of the All Progressives Congress and pitched her tent with Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
“It’s a question of a good turn, deserves another, Dr. Adebule is being compensated for her loyalty to the party when it mattered most,” said the source.
