The Presidential Candidate of the PDP Financed the election of the Reps and Senate in no small measure. However, this is Lagos bye election, where presidential candidate funds will not be available. Thus, the party must devise a means of funding the election through choice of candidate visibility, popularity, antecedents, pedigree, contacts, access, cash at hand and election funding cash flow projection.

Posh Visibility

She is always seen on Twitter contributing to issue of national important. However, much can not be said about her activities and political programmes in Lagos East since the last election.

Like the case of Sen. Gbenga Ashafa the odds still favour princess Abiodun oyefusi of the Peoples Democratic Party to fly the Lagos East Ticket.

If Covid-9 International Protocol that got her stranded in United Kingdom and other factors prevent her from flying the party ticket. Then, Peoples Democratic Party should draft Babatunde Olalere Gbadamosi (BOG) into the race. No Position is too small to start from. Most importantly, apart from the power and money at the disposal of an elected governor, a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is superior to a Governor. Regardless, We have seen situation whereby a senator rose from Senator to become a Governor and vice versa.

Also, Babatunde Adisa aka Bob Tarner and Yeye Adenike Shobajo, who earlier shown their intent and expression of interest before the controversial announcement of Posh are key factors, the Lagos Peoples Democratic party might need to reachout to ahead of the nomination for Lagos East Bye election irrespective of the candidate based on legal cases or Total Victory for the party that will fly the party ticket.
