About 3000 delegates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State are currently voting to determine who will become the governorship candidate of the leading opposition party in the state ahead of the 2019 general elections.

The contenders are Jimi Agbaje who was the party’s candidate in 2015 and Adedeji Doherty who had been seeking the ticket since 2007 without success.

The delegates are casting their votes according to their local governments in the presence of monitoring officers from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The election is being conducted by the National Working Committee (NWC) panel chaired by Senator Victor Kassim Oyofo with other members including Chief (Mrs) Chidi Onyemelukwe (secretary); Alhaji Ibrahim Michika and Mr. Daisi Ogedengbe.

The primary election is taking place amidst heavy security at the Yard 156 event centre along Kudirat Abiola way Oregun Ikeja.

There is tension at the venue presently as mammoth crowd of members of the party struggled to gain entrance into the main venue.

Votings are still on ongoing.

It is ONLY PDP that can do this!!! Respect for federal character!

That is why it's called THE PEOPLE'S PARTY! The non-tribalistic party!

Here there is no Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba! Everybody is one!

Jimi first had impression on me during his last campaign infact but for his name, you will think he is from the 3 tribes

Everyone was campaigning for him as if he was one of their own!

It was a sight to behold!

We need a leader that will UNITE US! We need JIMI AGBAJE
