The former banker, who’s also a former Commissioner for Finance under the then Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, used the opportunity to address the party leaders on his legislative agenda and plans for Lagos East Senatorial District, the Centre of Excellence and Nigeria.
The slot for Lagos East Senatorial District became vacant following the death of Senator Adebayo Osinowo, who died of complications arising from the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) on June 15 at the age of 64.
Abiru signalled his retirement from Polaris Bank on August 24 effective from August 31.
