Jimi Agbaje on PDPs platform has the relative credibility to gv APC a good fight. However, let's analyse other determinants in Next Year's election: 1. The PDP Brand itself 2. Chief Olabode George 3. Senator Musliu Olajide Obanikoro 4. The PDP delegates to the Primaries. Agbaje has 3 hurculean task in front of him to clinch the PDP's ticket. 1. Olabode George calls the shot in Lagos Politics. He controls the structure of the Party. Jimi needs his "anointing" to fly the flag. Without his anointing, Jimi will lose the party's ticket. If the PDP National office force Jimi on the party, George will repeat what he did to Koro in 2007. Sadly, an alliance with George wl mean working in tandem with corruption. 2. Senator Obanikoro is not a fan of Agbaje. Koro also have a eye on 2015. With Koro in the race, Agbaje's hope is bleeped. Because it is the delegates that decide who fly the flag. Koro has a base in Lagos PDP. 3. The delegates comes in. To upstage George, Jimi needs to take over the structure of the party. He needs to throw money around to match George and Koro. Otherwise, he'll be flogged mercilessly in the primaries. Agbaje's best bet for 2015 is Labour Party... 4 Likes |

chukwudi44: Stop having wet dreams..........we are done with pdp in lagos dumb ass. I am a big fan of Agbaje and was heart broken he was sidelined in AC then....... if he contest on LP he might just win. But pdp is not the platform he needs. We are voting people but the party now matters cause pdp has demonstated they can make a tout out of a learned fellow...take Omisore for instance. Why am I even talking to you... you are not Yoruba. pls say whatever makes you sleep at night |

barcanista: Jimi Agbaje on PDPs platform has the relative credibility to gv APC a good fight. However, let's analyse other determinants in Next Year's election: Well said.... I like Agbaje and he is someone in the class of Fashola. But the question is will the pdp let him flourish. The fact that he is sound and smart makes him unfit for pdp. he has a better chance in LP. In fact I know quite a number of people who will fund his campaign if he decides to ran... |

FreeGlobe: is he a christian. The next lagos governor must be christian and from pdp. With this kind of comment again in 2014; I give up on Nigeria . Is President Goodluck Jonathan a true Christian and Godly or just Christian by name ? Is Governor Babatunde Fashola a true Muslim and Godly or Muslim by name ? This and other related questions can be asked of all our political office holders . They are not true to their religious tenent; they are only good in dividing us accross religion line just for their selfish gain . Our democracy should devoid of any sentiments .

Xfactoria:Mr man, I know the personalities and Characters of both men. Jimi is ego-centric like George. Jimi left AC because he doesn't see himself as a "boy" to anybody. George want his followers to be "loyal" 2 him. In 2007, George preferred "Hilda Williams" to Koro and Ogunlewe. In 2011, George's boys preferred an unpopular Ade Dosunmu. Someone of Jimi's Character and integrity will most likely be relunctant to be "loyal" to George. The problem of Lagos PDP is not Tinubu nor APC, it is always internal with George at the center. 2 Likes |

NewNigeriaMind: Don't you think the way out is to encourage more smart people to join PDP Lagos from now and POPULATE the party so the touts gradually become the minority BTW. Labour Party (like Accord Party) is a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for those who have personal clout and their own network but have no space in the TWO MAIN parties (for now) i.e. PDP and APC. There is name recognition also in politics as there is in marketing/sales. 2 Likes |

ola6:jimi is not someone George can control. He will most likely lose out in the primaries. Most of Jimi's supporters are the intellectuals and sadly majority of them does not have a say in party politics. When Jimi flew the DPA's flag in 2007, it was the intellectuals that rooted for him to come 3rd in that election behind brf and koro of AC and pdp respectively |

barcanista: jimi is not someone George can control. He will most likely lose out in the primaries. Most of Jimi's supporters are the intellectuals and sadly majority of them does not have a say in party politics. That shows you the intellectuals can make an impact. Imagine what that impact would be IF they mobilise more of their likes to join PDP and even APC. Don't you think the space for thugs & touts will shrink significantly The problem is the intellectuals feel too big & comfy instead of reaching out EARLY from before now. to mobilise people especially youths in the universities, polytechnics etc to also reach out to their folks like in network marketing. It is not impossible to attain BUT he must take care of his personal security FIRST to avoid Funsho Williams mishap because the current occupants of Alausa House won't give up easily as they have too much dirt to cover 2 Likes |

abacus: My bro, i've never been a fan of PDP but to me, anything is better than APC. Besides, with due respect to your religious sensibilities, the general notion then was that nothing good could ever come out of Nazarete, but behold, it produced the Redeemer. Again, dont you think that using Labour or Accord will be playing into the hands of APC by stretching the votes against them instead of channeling it in one direction ? Jimi Agbaje is a genuine progressive and democrat. Sometimes you have to stoop to conquer. 4 Likes |

barcanista: the PDP brand in Lagos has a very battered image. That's the point! I fully understand that and it is not only in Lagos but the whole south west as the ACN/APC well-oiled PROPAGANDA machine has been very effective in painting PDP as the devil itself. However OUR people are not so stupid as we, the intellectual/elite, like to think. Did they not vote Koro's son in Thief'nubu Ikoyi/Obalende LGA Was PDP not victorious in Badagry LGA before LASIEC announced another result In the same Lagos oh Did PDP with Fayose not win in Ekiti? Does Omisore, despite his tainted reputation, not stand a good chance of winning in Osun state? APC is not that invincible after all. 4 Likes |

Who is Jimi Agbaje? Is he from hinterland but want to claim no mans land? Those APC guys asking him to go and contest from Labour Party are the same people that will always say Labour Party is PDP. So what gives if it's labour? |

PenSniper: There is NO such thing/person as a "GENUINE progressive and democrat" anymore in the lould of Awo and his UPN governors plus other followers of their four cardinal programmes focused on uplifting the masses in a SUSTAINABLE manner rather than steal our money as is the current practice. Gbenga Daniel had similar credentials in 2003 but AD would not give him a ticket in favour of Osoba whom Ogun state people wanted out for his crass corruption and clueless administration. Quite a few Ogun elites/intellectuals actually raised funds for Daniel to add to his war chest in winning Osoba. Let us not forget that AD was not under Thief'nubu's one man show control then. While Daniel did well in his first term like Fashola his second term was a disaster just like Fashola's. This is largely due to the absence of OUR constant & continuous VIGILANCE through well established and strong INSTITUTIONS such as the legislature & LGAs having significant number of opposition parties at the STATE level who can keep the party/person in power on his/her toes for the people's ultimate benefit. Over to US! 2 Likes |
