Lagos - Jimi Agbaje, the 2007
Democratic People’s Alliance
(DPA) governorship candidate in
Lagos State, has formally joined
the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), a party official said on
Monday.
Gani Taofik, the State Publicity
Secretary of PDP said that Agbaje
is now a card-carrying member
of the PDP.
"Agbaje has showed the State
Working Committee (SWC) of the
party his membership card
obtained from Ward B in Apapa
Local Government Area.
"Agbaje told us that he decided
to join PDP as the most viable
platform for the desired change
in Lagos State.’’
Taofik said Agbaje, who came to
the party secretariat in Ikeja on a
"courtesy visit’’, presented the
membership card to the party
leadership.
The publicity secretary noted
that Agbaje's joining the party at
this time would help to further
broaden the party's membership
in the state.
According to him, the SWC
assured Agbaje and his
supporters of a level-playing
field in seeking positions in the
party.
Taofik, however, said there no
automatic tickets for candidates
seeking the various elective
posts on the platform of the PDP
in 2015.
