PDP, SalvadorBARRING unforeseen circumstances and ahead of Monday’s former declaration of Lagos State chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Moshood Salvador, for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), which event has been slated for Agege Stadium, PDP has appointed Dr Dominic Adegbola as his replacement, Tribune Online has learnt.

Adegbola, a medical practitioner, was a governorship aspirant of the party in the 2019 poll.

It would be recalled that Salvador on Monday announced his decision to dump to PDP for APC, saying that he took the decision because his efforts to grow the party was not being appreciated and could not continue to labour in vain.

Nigerian Tribune gathered that the choice of Adegbola came, following a consensus of opinions among the party leaders in the state, based on the need to pick a replacement for Salvador from same Lagos West that he came from, among other criteria.

Already, it was gathered that the PDP National Headquarters in Abuja had been informed of the appointment through a letter, with the former deputy national chairman of the party, Chief Olabode George, said to have given his nod to Dominic’s new appointment.

Tribune Online further gathered that more seats needing to be filled in the party exco due to their holders’ political aspiration to contest for seats in the 2019 polls had also be filled by new appointees, also based on the consensus of opinions.
