If there is anything the Yeye Sewa of Lagos, Chief (Mrs) Kemi Nelson is so personate about right now, that is how to get to the Senate come 2011, if what we gathered is to be believed. Political Caucus can reveal that the former Commissioner in Lagos State Allen Avenue home in the Ikeja area of the state has been turned to a party secretariat of some sort these days as top politicians in her constituency (Ikeja) now storm there on regular basis to hold meetings with her. A source revealed that the highly influential woman may vie for a senatorial seat because she has already been anointed by her followers and the leadership of her party (Action Congress) for the seat. Political Caucus heard that Chief (Mrs.) Nelson would have fulfilled a long term ambition if she wins the seat. We learnt she has always wanted to go to the senate. It would be recall that the society woman cum politician made moves to go to the senate in 2003 but her dream was cut short with the emergence of Sen. Tokunbo Afikuyomi as the senator that represented Lagos West Senatorial District at the time. She was then compensated with the position of Commissioner by former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Though, she was said to have been given the option of going to the House of Representatives at that time, which she vehemently turned down.
