The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party and its governorship candidate, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, have hailed the defection of the Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Mr. Wasiu Oluwo, to the PDP.

In separate statements, the PDP and Agbaje said the decision of the commissioner to resign his position and his membership of the All Progressives Congress was due to the failure of the ruling party.

In a statement titled, ‘Babylon is Falling’, Agbaje said the APC would continue to fail and crumble.

He said, “Babylon is falling! APC is crumbling. The commissioner has displayed uncommon courage by the decision. He is a good example for others to follow as this empire begins to fall to pieces.

“I am gladdened by the news of my brother’s defection to the PDP. Indeed, it is a welcome development which must be lauded and applauded by all lovers of freedom and democracy. By this singular gesture, Oluwo has counted himself worthy as a man of integrity.

“I look forward to teaming up with him to liberate our dear state from the shackles of bad governance and corruption.”

Agbaje further urged all stakeholders in the state to join him in the task of liberating the state from the stranglehold of predatory vested interests who had in the last 19 years held the state to ransom.

“I am using this opportunity to all stakeholders in the state, particularly my brothers and sisters in the APC to toe the path of honour, and join us to rescue our state from the vice grips of a vested cabal that has arrested its development in the last 20 years,” he said.

In a separate statement, the PDP Publicity Secretary in the state, Mr. Taofik Gani, said Oluwo would be remembered for his noble gesture.

The statement read in part, “He has taken a political step never to be regretted. We encourage all remaining true democrats to join the PDP now. Lagos has been in bondage of a unipolar rule and control.

PDP and their mumuness. Agbaje is wasting his time and money.

If you say Lagos was in bondage, I believe all state in Nigeria are following Lagos when it comes to developmental project . Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa have more federal allocation than Lagos yet they have low infrastructure project. Mr Jimi you have goofed on this one. Don't worry the election is around the corner.

The Berlin wall of godfatherism is falling in Lagos state.

Steady but surely, Lagos shall be free.

Tinubu is the landlord of Lagos

A man from Osun State o

That's simply because it was once a Federal Capital Territory not because of APC

Calabar was never actually the capital of Nigeria. Calabar during British Empire’s Southern Nigerian protectorate served as administrative headquarters for colonial officials, most of whom were missionaries. So in the real sense of the word, Calabar was never capital of Nigeria since at the time, there wasn't actually a country called Nigeria. The administrative headquarters was eventually moved to Lagos some time in the 1860s.
