Jimi Agbaje, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate in Lagos, is the latest to dump the party, and Nigerians aren’t having any of that – As they have to taken to social media to drop their opinion about Agbaje’s move.
Just a few days ago, a former Ogun state governor and Director-General of the Atiku Abubakar Campaign Organization, Gbenga Daniel, made headlines after he announced his decision to quick the party and partisan politics. With insinuations he might be joining the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, because that’s what his supporters want of him.
Agbaje, who has now followed in line, says his decision to leave PDP is because of the irreconcilable difference between himself and party leadership – Having been accused of being responsible for their poor performance at the just concluded gubernatorial election in Lagos.
”I have tried to remain focused and ignore all the distractions coming from the leadership of the party. I am making the decision after due consultations with my supporters and loved ones for the sake of peace,” he said.
Take a look at what some Nigerians think of his defection, on Twitter
Either Jimi Agbaje leaves PDP or stays on is irrelevant at this point, the last results have shown that PDP needs someone like Gbadamosi or a fresh face devoid of voluble and aphoristic mien who can serve as a rallying point.

Jimi Agbaje never planned to become the Gov of Lagos. Baba is just a hustler like the BMC boys. Working silently for Tinubu to make the election a walk over for APC every four years. Disappear for 4 years, then show up suddenly to contest & amass wealth for himself. Crook

Jimi Agbaje has done well for the APC
He held the uncontested guber place for 12 good years
He has made competition irrelevant in Lagos— Demola Adetona (@DemolaExpoze) March 20, 2019
Jimi is not the problem here… Seriously speaking I don’t see any wrong doing. It is his is fundamental right to choose whom and those to associate with… However the real problem are those citizens that took this guy serious. How can any right thinking person ever believe in the Jimi project to govern Lagos. Those gaullibles and magas, whom shout all day infront of newspaper stands and beer parlour joints. Those fools that cast their votes to these criminals are the real treat and problem in this country… We thank the good lord for not allowing us enter the one chance train ride, provided by these atikulated magas and pdp criminals.
