Jimi Agbaje Denies Dumping PDP Over Dispute With Party Leaders

The Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Jimi Agbaje, has on Wednesday night, denied dumping his party, after the just concluded March 9, elections.

On Wednesday morning, there were speculations that Agbaje may have dumped the PDP following disagreement with the party leaders in the state over his loss to the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Babajide Sanwo-olu, in the just concluded Guber election.

However, in a reaction, Agbaje’s Spokesperson, Modupe Ogunbayo, in a statement, said that his pricipal is still a card-carrying member of the PDP, and has not resigned his membership.

He maintained that Agbaje is committed to the PDP, which he believes is the best party that will address the yearnings of Nigerians. The statement reads:

“In the past 24-hours, Mr. Olujimi Kolawole Agbaje, the Gubernatorial Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, in the recently-concluded 2019 election in Lagos State, has received uncountable calls and messages from numerous friends, teeming political associates within PDP, and countless members of his supporters, that he has resigned from the PDP.

“Mr. Olujimi Kolawole Agbaje is still a card-carrying member of the PDP. He remains committed to the broad-based party, which he remains absolutely certain, has the best antidote to the yearnings and aspirations of the Nigerian peoples.

“It is another chunk from the ongoing propaganda and disinformation machinery of his foes. Mr. Olujimi Kolawole Agbaje urges all to treat the rumour with the disdain it wisely deserves.”
