Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Jimi Agbaje, has said that he has no plan to quit the party that gave him ticket twice.
He was speaking against the backdrop of rumours in the social media that he had dumped the party for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Agbaje attributed the rumour to mischief-makers who are determined to soil his reputation, provoke crisis within the party and dampen the spirit of party members and his supporters.
He, however, disclosed that he lost the March 9 elections due to the intimidation of voters, which led to apathy that made Lagos record the lowest percentage of voters’ turnout in the country.
In a statement by his Director of Media and Publicity, Felix Oboagwina, he said: “I have never discussed with anyone any plan to dump PDP, neither has such a prospect crossed my mind. There is no reason for it. It is uncalled for.”
He vowed to remain in the party, despite the campaign of calumny against him in the media by a few leaders.
The PDP flag-bearer noted that he released a message on Monday encouraging members to rise above the questionable defeats suffered in the last election and keep faith with the party, and that it would be contradictory for him to suddenly turn tail and flee the same party.
