The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos, Mr Jimi Agbaje, has denied claims and rumours that he is a mole of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the national leader of the All Progressives Congress.
Mr. Agbaje also stated that he has not dumped the PDP for APC as widely claimed in some media reports, stressing that, there is no truth in the report.
Agbaje, in a statement by Mr Felix Oboagwina, his Director of Media and Publicity, said he was still in PDP and nobody could force him out.
“My campaigns have been very clear on where the blame of bad governance in Lagos State should lie,” he said in the statement.
“It baffles me how the same people I hold responsible for the bondage we find ourselves in Lagos will be funding me to sabotage my party, PDP.
“I have never collected a single kobo from the ruling party in Lagos State directly or indirectly nor from its leadership or representatives,” he said.

Agbaje said that party leaders who stood on the sidelines or worked against the party in the elections should not be fooled that the loss at the elections was as a result of their negative actions.
“They should not arrogate to themselves powers they do not have.
“The elections were lost due to the intimidation of people which in turn led to voter apathy, such that Lagos recorded the lowest percentage turnout in the country,” he said.
