The
All Progressives Congress (APC) has picked the serving Secretary to the
Lagos State Government (SSG), Dr Idiat Oluranti Adebule, as the running
mate to the party’s governorship candidate in the state, Akinwunmi
Ambode.
It was reliably learnt that Dr Adebule was the
natural choice for the party when the leadership finally agreed to give
the slot to a Muslim female.
According to an
impeccable source within the party, “With her high religious background
and close affinity with the Muslim community in the state, having being a
prominent member of the Muslim Students Society (MSS). She is also a
doctorate degree holder who have lectured at the Lagos State University
(LASU) before her appointment as the SSG and her political activities.
She has the CV and this has given her the edge,” the source said.
Adebule
has also been identified as a loyal party member who is more than 100
per cent committed to the ideals and programmes of the party.
“Apart
from that, she has a rich political experience in her Resume and she
has indeed distinguished herself in her current role as the Secretary to
the State Government (SSG),” the source added.
It
was learnt further that the fact that she is an Awori woman from Ojo
Local Government Area of the state in the Badagry Division of the state
also played a major role in her favour.
