Contrary
to wide spread report in national dailies, Democratic Peoples Alliance (DPA)
governorship candidate in the 2007 elections in Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje,
has denied that he was taken to President Goodluck Jonathan as potential
candidate of the lead opposition in Lagos State by a Peoples Democratic Party
stalwart, Chief Bode George.
Agbaje,
while speaking with THISDAY Tuesday expressed surprise that he was reported to
have met with the President, saying he had met George, once and that it was
about three years ago.
While
assuring the people that come 2015 he would be participating in politics, he
stressed that he has not taken a decision on which party’s platform he would be
seeking his governorship ambition, but he emphasised that whenever he decides
on which party to join, he would not be party of imposition.
“You
will remember that I crossed to the DPA over issues having to do with
imposition. I will never be part of imposition. In fact, President Jonathan
himself went through primary. You will recall that my party, the DPA had a free
and fair party primary that threw me up as the candidate of the party”, Agbaje
reiterated.
He
however maintained that when he eventually takes a decision on which party to
join, he would make it public.
