The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State, Jimi Agbaje, says the last general election turned him into a debtor.

Agbaje, who addressed party members at the PDP’s secretariat in Lagos on Tuesday, insisted that he won the governorship election.

The programme was organised ahead of the party’s forthcoming congresses and national convention.

The PDP governorship candidate, who spoke in pidgin English, however, said that despite the loss of the party in the last general elections, members of the party should shun bitterness and work to rebuild the party.

He said, “Some members were annoyed because the monies meant for the elections were not given to them to prosecute the last polls. I am angry too because the PDP won the last election in the state but was denied victory. I finish election, na gbese, I carry for head.”

In his remarks, a former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Chief Bode George, attributed the defeat of the party in the last general elections to a former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro.

The PDP chieftain, who lamented that indiscipline had been a major problem of the party, said the party would not tolerate factions under any guise because they were dividing the party.

George said, “Our victory was scuttled by evil characters who preferred the narrow position of the ministerial office than the collective esteem and honour of winning the governorship election in Lagos State.

“We were defeated by the agent provocateurs within our ranks. We were defeated by political renegades who merely invested in their own greedy and selfish interests.

“This cannot continue. Nobody is above the constitution of the party. We must either strictly adhere to the normative pattern of the party rules or we ship out. There will be no exemptions.

“The party is supreme. Enough of all these so-called groupings. Groupings do not build a healthy and strong national party. It is parochial and destructive.”

A former Minister of Works, Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe, urged members of the party to go back to their various wards to start rebuilding the party.

He said the forthcoming congresses would promote legitimacy, adding that imposition of candidates would not be tolerated.

Abi oo

Thank God he lost the election. We don't want a governor who will use the state resources to pay election debt.

Better step down jimi, as far as Jagaban rules lagos nothing can take it over from him.

Scam claim. The guy is simply concealing his million of dollars campaign fund PDP gave him to secure Lagos. Dasuki won't expose u, no worry.

So jonathan left his golden boy pennyless why giving dollars to obas nd pastors.
Chai, there's God oo

This man had good ideas for lagos. But he choose a bad and doomed party. Jimi Agbaje shld never have joined a party of thieves, looters and impunity. I still think he can do good as a leader tho

Oh

Good for you

hmm he went and borrow money to use it and contest for election, anyway am not surprised because thats how our polithiefcians accumulate debt during election period and when they win they use the masses money to pay back.

What a revelation!
So, we almost elected a scammer as governor of Lagos.

Olé

This na serious matter oooo

How is that suppose to be our business?


JIMI IS NOT OK

I see a contradiction here, Jimi is claiming that he won election while bode George says some folks in their party worked against them for their defeat at the polls.
