Lagos Guber Election: Agbaje Vows PDP Will Resist Any Violence by OkikiOlajide: 2:25pm On Mar 02, 2019
The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Jimi Agbaje, has challenged the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to be prepared for resistance if the ruling party unleashes violence in the March 9 governorship election.

In a series of videos posted on his verified Twitter account on Friday, Agbaje condemned the violence reported at several polling units across the state during the presidential and National Assembly elections last Saturday.
Agbaje, after he had visited some areas affected by voter suppression and violence, said that it was understandable why some Lagosians were disappointed, angry or afraid.

The PDP candidate, however, stated that when good people did nothing, evil prevailed.

He said, “Undoubtedly, what played out last weekend was a clear violation of the social contract between government and its citizens. Every Nigerian has a fundamental right to life, civil liberties and right to vote among other things.

“So, when you have a situation where thousands of people are put in harm’s way just because they choose to exercise this right while the government turns a blind eye, it has broken that contract.”
