If elected, our wonderful @FloEshalomi -who has been an excellent Brixton Hill Cllr- will be the first ever Nigerian on the @LondonAssembly!

Florence Eshalomi is the Labour London Assembly candidate who has been targeted by Momentum, though at least Chuka has got her back. He’s been campaigning hard on the moderate’s behalf, telling Twitter she will be the first ever Nigerian on the London Assembly. Oh really…

Meet Kemi Badenoch, London Assembly member and British-Nigerian. And a Tory…

Sorry to spoil your fun, Chuka but the "first Nigerian" is already on the London Assembly and she's Conservative ? https://t.co/ifPJVdHl2r
