The Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, has responded to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who mocked him for adopting the ‘freedom’ slogan for his 2019 aspiration.

Tinubu had, while addressing members of the All Progressives Congress on Monday, said, “Those who said they want freedom should go and learn tailoring and vulcanising and we will do freedom for them later.”

However, in a statement on Tuesday, Agbaje likened Tinubu to the biblical Pharaoh of Egypt who refused to allow the children of Israel to leave but kept them in bondage until God sent down 10 plagues that forced Pharaoh’s hand.

“Pharaoh, you must let our people go!” Agbaje said.

“Apparently, the APC leader has lost touch with reality,” Agbaje said in a press statement by his Director of Media and Publicity, Felix Oboagwina.

“Otherwise, he would know that, like the children of Israel, Lagosians are groaning under the taskmaster that Tinubu and his cronies have turned themselves into in this state that should rate as Nigeria’s foremost,” he added.

Recalling that the biblical Pharaoh finally granted liberty to the Israelites only after several vicious plagues, Agbaje said, Lagosians would be liberated after the people might have delivered an electoral disgrace to the APC in 2019.

He also said that his campaign slogan mirrored the same spirit that moved Nelson Mandela to declare his long walk to freedom in an apartheid South Africa.

Agbaje said, “We identify with our vulcanisers, tailors and all craftsmen who have the joy of duly-earned freedom after their apprenticeship.

“But it is apparent that, unlike them, those who have gotten used to filthy lucre and the dividends of corruption cannot savour the joy that comes with the legitimate sweat and labour of hardworking artisans.”

He argued that Lagos State must be freed from the era of nepotism and corruption that saw a private firm maintaining a stranglehold on the state’s funds, contrary to global best practices.

Tinubu Emperor reign is close in Lagos....

Somehow someday it will be over

Agbaje you are in a wrong party,PDP as a party in Nigeria represents Egypt

Those who said they want freedom should go and learn tailoring and vulcanising and we will do freedom for them later.

It will be easier for other parties to win Lagos soon than PDP that is what I feel. The person that win wrestle power from Tinubu will be an unknown young gladiator not all these people.

Western folks in Nigeria are too politically blind to turn back at their slave master, Tinubu.

Is this guy contesting against Tinubu or Sanwo?

Baawaa:
Agbaje you are in a wrong party,PDP as a party in Nigeria represents Egypt

I would have insulted you but you're already stup¡d..
Shebi na APC be land of milk and honey abi? Bastar.d Vagab0nd

Tinubu gat las gidi in his pocket

I dey laugh o.....Something that a whole OBJ couldn't solve in his two term in office, neither Yar dua nor Goodluck Jonathan could solve as ruling party o.We all know the reason why it was close then was because PDP were the ruling Party! Na now wey Jagaban dey control things as ruling party u wan win mumu dey worry this one well....

Agbaje, Tinubu is already diverting ur attention already. Are you contesting against Tinubu?

If you can't beat them join them.

That's just the little advice I av for Agbaje.

Lagosians will see how Tinubu has been sucking them dry since 1999 the day another political party will take over Lagos State government.
How one man could be pressing a whole ethnic like remote from his bedroom is still a mystery to me..

If this is what sophistication is all about, they should keep it to themselves. What I am seeing is gullibility and slavery..

Tinubu and his wife are your parents if you live Lagos.

Agbaje go and learn barbing, we will do u freedom

One day,it will become a history.

Tinubu does not know this but what he did to MKO Abiola is about to come back and haunt him.

let which people go? people wey don dey reason abroad tay tay.

Perfect response!!! Agbaje hits him right in the snotz.

Even Barney is tired of them.

Tinubu is a greedy man; he will rather that Nigeria is annihilated by Buhari/Jubril; instead of abandoning his stupid dream of becoming president. It will never happen

bedspread:
Tinubu Emperor reign is close in Lagos....

Surely,one day his grip on Lagos will expire.

Nice one

Let's free lagos from the bondage of Tinubu

Politics is a game of number. Call Tinubu whatever name you like, as long as there are more people trusting his judgement in selection of governorship candidates, he will keep being the boss. For me, I trust Tinubu's judgement for now.

na really pharaoh let my people go

Every step that Agbaje takes is always wrong

The era of table shaking!

The approach this jimi agbaje is using is just making him look like a fool, he should be focusing on what he intends to do for Lagos rather than making it about tinubu.If the people see that you mean well and your intentions are genuine you will get votes instead he's going about stoking up ethnic politics and crying tinubu this tinubu that..he's playing politics foolishly with sentiments like our flatheaded brethren from the east always do and not as a proper Omoluabi.

Nice one

Let's free lagos from the bondage of Tinubu.

Lagosians are too deep into Tinubu's arse* to vote out the Apc

Conduct the election a million times, Agbaje can't win

Lol, is it really Tinubu I think it's the people who have refused to go.
