Why Tinubu is Scared of Jimi Agbaje

Jimi Agbaje has always been Bola Tinubu’s worst nightmare. Agbaje’s emergence as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has made the prospect of that nightmare becoming real a distinct probability and Tinubu is now scared, very scared. That explains why he has gone on a paranoid offensive in a futile attempt to prevent Lagosians from voting for a man of honour, pedigree, integrity and courage, virtues which stand Jimi Agbaje in stark contrast with his traducers.

When Jimi Agbaje ran for governorship of Lagos State in 2007, he gave a very strong showing in spite of the fact that he was candidate of a small, largely insignificant party, the DPA. Tinubu has done everything to frustrate Jimi Agbaje’s political career to no avail, and is deeply worried by the fact that Agbaje has retained huge goodwill and indeed expanded same in spite of not occupying any public office. Tinubu fears that Jimi Agbaje is one of the few people who can disrupt his elaborately executed plans since 1999 to transform Lagos into his personal fiefdom and to secure a “majority shareholding” and “Board Chairmanship” in what he conceives to be his “Nigeria Plc” with a dispensable Buhari as nominal CEO and his surrogate as Deputy CEO

If Jimi Agbaje wins in Lagos, all that Tinubu believes he has “worked” for will be undermined. Fortunately most citizens and residents of Lagos increasingly recognize that Bola Tinubu’s permanent hegemony is not in their interest. They know that Tinubu has ruled Lagos directly and through proxies for sixteen years and that his design to now install an absolute puppet as stand-in governor for what he envisages as his defacto fifth term, should be prevented if their freedom and welfare is to be protected. They know that Lagos should not become the personal property of one individual and that Jimi Agbaje is the only one who can prevent that evil design.

Firefire:
Jimi Agbaje remain the only solution to deliver Lagos State from 16 years rule of tinubu

Bayswater:
This is the end of the road for Tinubu.

So lagosians should vote for Agbaje so that Bode George will now suck lagos dry as the new godfather? Even though I love Jimi agbaje,I will not vote for him because of bode george and his party.

tomakint:
I totally concur with the Op, Agbaje is the real deal for Lagos!

Mynd44:
I like this but the problem with Lagosians is simple

A lot of people like agbaje.....

But how many of them are willing to vote PDP?

You guys just like going around in circles. You claim Tinubu is a thief bla bla bla but the question people ask is that did Tinubu bring Fashola? Did Fashola perform well? Yes.

Tinubu brought Ambode, do they trust his judgement again? Yes.

Then Ambode just has the record as a performing public worker.

The end

Firefire:


End of road for the criminals

@bolded, i guess the criminal is Bode George because he has being fine guity and jailed by a law court , though he has being forgiven again by oga at the top due to reason best known to him.

Even when Obanikoro and others decamped to the PDP enroute to the 2003 Guber elections,Tinubu defeated the PDP.And not now that the APC has 100% senators,100% House of Reps,100% House of Assembly.No commissioners/special advisers decampment.Ambode will get more than 75percent in the Guber election.While Ambode is touring the every nook and cranny of the state,meeting all the voters,telling them what he would do for them,Jimi is meeting journalists and PDP stalwarts telling them how he would reduce the cost of land in Lagos and how Lagos would be like a mere villager if non-lagosians leave Lagos.The reason you feel Lagosians would not vote for Ambode(being stooge to Tinubu),the same reason they would reject Agbaje(because he is a stooge to an Ex-Prisoner Bode George).Sensible Lagos people would rather vote for someone that is an experienced public administrator than voting novice with unverifiable achievements and pedigree.Unfortunately GEJ has compounded the PDP problems because his government has failed to do any project for Lagos people.Did I hear you say TRAIN?Don't go there!The refurbished Locomotive that will cost you 750 naira. Per trip from Agege to Ido Terminal when the BRT bus will cost 150-200.
