A statement by the Media Office of Hon Osinowo quoted him thus: "It was a good contest and I thank my brother, Senator Gbenga Ashafa for providing such a good competition. For me, it's a case of No Victor, No Vanquished. 

"I also want to express my appreciation to our party members from the Lagos East Senatorial District who voted overwhelmingly for me to fly the party's ticket. I'm assuring you all that I'll not disappoint all of you: our party members in particular and the people in general for reposing this huge confidence in me".

Hon Osinowo was declared winner of the primary election for the Lagos East Senatorial District by the Chairman of APC's Electoral Committee for National and State Assembly Primaries for Lagos State and former Deputy Governor of Edo State, Lucky Imasuen. 

Addressing journalists in Lagos, Imasuen stated that Osinowo defeated the incumbent, Senator Gbenga Ashafa by polling 247, 743 votes against Ashafa's 20,385.
