Defection: PDP speaks on Jimi Agbaje’s alleged dumping of party

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State has reacted to the rumour making the rounds about its governorship candidate in the just concluded election, Jimi Agbaje dumping the party.

The party has now dismissed the claim.

PDP’s reaction came in a statement by the State Secretary of the party, Prince Muiz Dosumu.

The story emerged on Wednesday about Agbaje’s defection and resignation from partisan politics.

But in a terse statement issued to reporters on Wednesday, the Lagos PDP said:

“This is to disclaim the rumour going round, that our governorship candidate, Mr Olujimi Agbaje, has left the PDP.

“This is an absolute fallacy and could only have happened in the imagination of the rumour peddler.

“Our great leader, Chief Olabode George, has embarked on serious peace initiative to foster unity in the Party.

“We cannot afford to start again as we usually do, battles after every election, till another one.

“Please help foster unity and peace in the party and not another war.”
