Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Jimi Agbaje has denied dumping the party.

Agbaje was today reacting to rumours making round that he left the party.

His spokesman, Modupe Ogunbayo confirmed that his principal is still a PDP card-carrying member in the state.

He said Agbaje was committed to the PDP which he believes is the best party that will address the yearnings of Nigerians.

The statement read, “In the past 24 hours, Mr. Olujimi Kolawole Agbaje, the gubernatorial candidate of the People’s Democratic Party in the recently-concluded 2019 election in Lagos state, has received uncountable calls and messages from numerous friends, teeming political associates within PDP and countless members of his supporters, that he has resigned from the PDP.

“Mr. Olujimi Kolawole Agbaje is still a card-carrying member of the PDP. He remains committed to the broad-based party, which he remains absolutely certain, has the best antidote to the yearnings and aspirations of the Nigerian peoples.

“It is another chunk from the ongoing propaganda and disinformation machinery of his foes. Mr. Olujimi Kolawole Agbaje urges all to treat the rumour with the disdain it wisely deserves.”

Agbaje lost the governorship election held March 9 in Lagos to the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Sanwo-Olu was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC Returning Officer, Prof Eyitope Ogunbodede.
