Jimi Agbaje is not a stooge of Bode. He sought after all the PDP leaders in Lagos and convinced them to support his campaign. None of them are sponsoring him. As a matter of fact he has been sponsoring party activities in Lagos state.

You conveniently ignored the part where Bola Tinubu anointed someone else before the primaries. That is enough grounds to leave the party. DPA was de-registered by INEC. What would you have him do? The Nigerian constitution does not allow for independent candidates. And with the PDP he stands the best chance to win the election. There's nothing unstable about him sir. Try another one.

Jimi Agbaje has been involved in Politics and policy making (both at a professional level, e.g as Chairman of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria and at a socio-political level - he was a leader of Afenifere and Save Nigeria Group). He has been a driver of policy of the regional development agenda of Lagos state since 1998. He runs a thriving company, and has created over 1000 jobs. It is for REASONS OF PRINCIPLE AND INTEGRITY that he refused to work directly under any government.
