Former Lagos State governorship candidate on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015, Mr Jimi Agbaje has finally announced his intention to re-contest for the highly coveted position in the forthcoming election.

Agbaje revealed that; “It is true that initially I did not want to re-contest, but I had so many people urging me to run. I bought and submitted my nomination form shortly before it closed. I will be part of the PDP Lagos governorship primaries, billed for Friday, September 28th.”

“I am confident I will win the elections in Lagos state, if I picked the PDP guber ticket to run. I am confident that the leadership will create a level playing ground for all the aspirants, as has been the norm of the party. Our primaries have always been open, fair and free for all.”

“This is what we are known for, and that is the way I expect it to be. The recent defections from the party in the state will not affect me if I picked the ticket. It is the people of Lagos State that will decide. The issues in the party will not impart negatively on votes. Most Nigerians now vote for individuals rather than party.”
