The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State, in the just concluded elections, Mr Jimi Agbaje, has dismissed reports that he had dumped the party, describing it as another chunk of propaganda and disinformation from his foes.
He insisted on Wednesday that he was still a card carrying member of the PDP and had not resigned his membership.
Agbaje in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Modupe Ogunbayo in Lagos said he remained committed to the PDP, which he insisted is the best party to address the challenges of the country and meet 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.”
