The Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), the highest decision-making body of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos, has reportedly appointed Musiliu Obanikoro, a former minister of state for defence, into its ranks.
Obanikoro, an ally of Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of
the APC, was also a former ambassador to Ghana.
His appointment into GAC was announced on Twitter by his
son, Babajide, who is a currently a member of the house of representatives.
The younger Obanikoro also said Demola Seriki, ambassador of
Nigeria to Spain, and Femi Pedro, a former deputy governor of Lagos, were also
appointed into the council.
“Congratulations
Daddy @MObanikoro on your well-deserved appointment to the Governance Advisory
Council (#GAC). Your appointment to the highly placed Council is proof of your
well-documented work ethic,” he tweeted.
“Hearty Congratulations also to Ambassador @DemolaSeriki,
@femipedro (Former Deputy Governor of Lagos State), Mrs Sarah Sosan (Former
Deputy Governor of Lagos State), Mrs Adejoke Adefulire @Adejoke_O_A (Senior
Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals).
“With the #GAC comprising these extremely cerebral
individuals, it is clear that the party is in competent hands and will continue
to work towards a great future.”

Meanwhile, the development comes months after the former
minister lost the party’s ticket to represent the APC for Lagos west senatorial
district in the 2023 general election.
Obanikoro lost to Idiat Adebule, former Lagos deputy
governor, during the primary which held in May.
The former minister had expressed reservations over the
conduct of the primary, and described the process as fraught with malpractices.
He had also said Adebule was not qualified to contest the primary.
