Episode Synopsis

We are joined once again by Ayo Ademiluyi (@ComAdemiluyi), the disputed Labour Party House of Reps candidate for Eti-Osa, Lagos, to discuss the LPs victory in his constituency. Having won the LP primaries for the position ahead of party's election victory in Eti-Osa, Ayo is now engaged in a legal battle against the 'substitution candidate' (@_JtAttah) imposed after the primaries. What is the status of Ayo's efforts to reclaim his mandate? What are the chances that Ayo will be sworn in as the National Representative for Eti-Osa come June? What, more generally, is the state of left entryism in the LP? With the election receding in the rearview, how should the Nigerian left 'engage' with the LP?
