The Senate Leader, Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, has formally obtained the All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination form to contest for the Senate in the forthcoming elections.
Bamidele, who currently represents Ekiti Central Senatorial District, picked up the party’s form on Friday, reaffirming his intention to seek another term in the National Assembly under the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
The development signals the lawmaker’s readiness to continue his legislative duties and consolidate on his role as Senate Leader, a position he has used to coordinate government business and sponsor key legislative interventions.
Sources close to the process disclosed that the form was obtained earlier in the day, marking a significant step in his re-election bid. Party stakeholders and supporters have since described the move as a continuation of his commitment to effective representation and grassroots engagement.
Bamidele, a former member of the House of Representatives and ex-Commissioner in Lagos State, has remained a prominent figure within the APC, with a strong political base in Ekiti State.
While formal declarations are expected in the coming days, political observers note that his entry into the race could shape the dynamics of the senatorial contest within the party.
Further updates are expected as the APC nomination process unfolds.
