Former Lagos State governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Jimi Agbaje, said that the Senate won’t confirm Lauretta Onochie as a national commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) even if President Muhammadu Buhari re-presents her for a second time.

Speaking in a chat with DAILY INDEPENDENT on Wednesday, Agbaje said this is evident in the rejection of Onochie by the Senators when her name was put up for a vote by the Senate President.

While lauding the decision of the lawmakers, Agbaje said they succumbed to pressure from Nigerians and the international community in rejecting Onochie who is a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), even though she claimed she had stopped being a member of the party since 2019.

“Well, I think that was the right thing to do. Whatever reasons they may have given for me is not the point at this time. The fact is that the National Assembly succumbed to the pressure from well-meaning Nigerians and even from the international community. I believe that is what strengthened the National Assembly to reject that nomination”.

“I believe that if you look at the National Assembly yesterday like I said, the pressure is such that I’m not even sure I heard anybody supported her nomination when it was mentioned by the Senate President. It was a total rejection and I think that signal is very clear”.

He further urged the president to look for another position for Onochie where the issue of political neutrality or partisanship will not be an issue.

“ If the president wants to help Lauretta Onochie, then they can find somewhere else where impartiality will not be an issue”.

Imagine this Agbaje's pharmacy supplies 70% of drugs to Lagos State hospitals...and the guy will be forming democrat.

His last showing was dismal and very disgusting...after which he pocketed almost 780million...and left PDP in shambles.

Imagine "jimi" losing elections to Ambode and even the :druggie" sanwo-olu.

The guy na failure truly....spits!

Honestly!

I guess the man that said most PDP members in Lagos are in Tinubu payroll was not lying.
