The Governorial Candidate of the PDP in the April 11 election in Lagos has conceded defeat and congratulated the winner Mr Akinwunmi Ambode of the PDP. Ambode won Agbaje with a margin of 150062 votes. Jimi Agbaje called Mr Ambode at about 6:15pm today to congratulate him. Jimi Agbaje also said he would not contest for the position again

Gooooooood!!!

Just unfortunate that Agbaje is now tainted as an Igbo ethnic politician! Imagine him promising to make an Eze Igbo a First Class Chief in Lagos. Except he was deceiving the Igbo he should know that The Igbo are a fiercely Republican and autonomous people who will not accept the overlordship of a single person as Eze all over Lagos Igbo- confusion will ensue! Just wondering how much of Igbo he can speak - in case he needs to try making a run for Governorship in any of the eastern states!
Shame to the apostles of ethnic politics playing us against one another! Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa et al are Nigerians who deserve to vote and be voted for ANYWHERE in the country.
It remains to be said however that it is an unreasonable and unfair thing to do to hit your host community under the belt by playing the ethnic card in election time when you have not been discriminated against in enjoying the dividend of democracy! The obvious attempt by Igbos at doing so in this elections is unfortunate and will only serve a notice on the Yoruba to be wary of the Igbo as a people nursing an agenda to take over their host community. The Igbo must consciously set out to put the Yoruba (their hosts in Lagos) at ease by correcting that impression.

Eeya

Gej layed a good example

a lot to address after the elections.

AMBOOOO AT LAST SAI ambode forward ever backward never...

I just hope APC will be mature enough to heal the electoral wounds and be magnanimous in victory. I hope the government won't deny people of Festac, Alaba, Ojo, Amuwo Odofin and other igbo populated areas the dividends of democracy. The majority have their way but the minority had their say. In all our democracy is the biggest beneficiary. Am glad

Mtcheeeeeeew stupid man I hate u for playing tribal polictics
