The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Polaris Bank Plc, Tokunbo Abiru is the All Progressives Congress (APC) consensus candidate for the Lagos East Senatorial seat bye-election scheduled to hold October 31. He stated, “APC is yet to make any statement on its candidate for the Lagos East Senatorial seat. But as far as Lagos APC is concerned, Tokunbo Abiru is the only aspirant for the Lagos East Senatorial seat and by implication, he is the party’s candidate. They have not shown interest because they know that Tokunbo Abiru is the choice of the party. He is the party’s consensus candidate and this is why the former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Adeyemi Kuforiji and other aspirants have dropped their aspirations.”Meanwhile, Tokunbo Abiru has announced his retirement from Polaris bank Limited.
