Jimi Agbaje Denies ‘Dumping’ PDP For APC

In the past few days, rumours have been making rounds on social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook that Jimi Agbaje, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)Aspirant for Lagos State in the 2019 Governorship election has ‘dumped’ PDP for APC.

One of the posts sighted on WhatsApp and Facebook on Wednesday read “Lagos PDP finally emptied as Jimi Agbaje defects to APC’’.

Also, It was also reported that former National Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olabode George, on Wednesday disclosed that the party’s governorship candidate in Lagos State in the last election, Jimi Agbaje, appears to have joined the All Progressives Congress, APC.

George also revealed that Agbaje failed in the last election because ‘he thinks he knows it all’, adding that it was Lagos people who worked against him.

Reacting, Mr Felix Oboagwina, media aide to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship candidate in the 2019 elections in Lagos State,  has denied reports that, Jimi Agbaje, had dumped the opposition party.

According to him, he described the reports as fake news, saying they were figments of the imaginations of the authors.

He said that Agbaje was still very much in the PDP and that there was no way he could have joined APC on social media.

“There is nothing like that, nothing like that at all. He is still in PDP; he has not defected.

“How can people say he has defected on social media? He is too big for that; he is in PDP,” Oboagwina said.
