Seven Reasons Why Everybody Loves Jim Agbaje by Iykestan(op): 9:46am On Apr 10, 2015
As the build-up to the election continues, the momentum is
swinging more and more to the underdog, Jimi Agbaje. It is
pretty easy to see why as the down-to-earth politician is a rare
breed.
Below are seven reasons why everyone loves Jimi Agbaje and why
the JK is OK movement is garnering a lot of followers by the
second.

1. He is Smart: Jimi Agbaje is unarguably one of the smartest politicians around.
This is even more evident when you hear him speak. He is
articulate and one of the best public speakers in the country.

2. Clean Hands: Unlike most politicians, Jimi Agbaje has never been involved in any
graft or scandal which makes him a role model of some sorts to
aspiring politicians, considering that politics is usually considered
an exercise to get one’s hands dirty. Jimi Agbaje is a far cry from
the regular Nigerian politician and his track record in the private
sector speaks for him.

3. Jimi Agbaje has a history of fighting for a better government: JK’s political genesis can be traced to the aftermath of the 1993
presidential election. According to him, he saw the annulment of the
result as an insult on the Nigerian people and got into politics to
change the status qup. Over the years, Agbaje has been involved in
a number of resistance movements seeking for a better society.
This informed his early rapport with notable figures like Pat Utomi, Dr Ayo Ighodaro, Asue Ighodalo, Billy Lawson, Oby Ezekwesili,
Tola Mobolurin, among others. It is widely belived that the equitable
society Jimi has always sought after will be easily realized if given
the mandate.

4. He has a rich professional resume: Asides currently sitting on the board of a number of renowned
companies, Jimi Agbaje boasts an illustrious resume. From 1987 to
1990, Jimi Agbaje served as National Secretary of Nigerian
Association, General Practice. From 1990 to 1993, Mr. Agbaje held
various professional appointments which include National Chairman
of Nigerian Association of General Practice Pharmacists. From 1994 to 1997, he served as Chairman of Pharmaceutical Society of
Nigeria (Lagos State). He also was Chairman of 1994 National
Conference Planning Committee of the Pharmaceutical Society of
Nigeria. In the year 2000, Jimi Agbaje served as the National
Treasurer of Afenifere, more proof that public funds are indeed safe
with him.

5. Jimi’s manifesto is compelling: Have you seen and read his manifesto? You should visit his
website www.jimiagbaje.com and see for yourself. His ideas are
plain for all to see and are driven towards the development of
Lagos. Anybody who sees that manifesto and doesn’t throw his
weight behind Agbaje’s bid must not love Lagos and Nigeria at
large.

6. He is an enviable father and husband: Jimi Agbaje met his wife Abiola Agbaje (Bankole) at the then
University of Ife (now University of Ibadan), and has stuck with her
until now, with their three children. Unlike most randy politicians,
Jimi is known as a loyal husband which has seen him carve a niche
as a loving family man and many are testament to his fatherly
responsibilities.

7. Jimi is the Change Lagos needs: For the past 16 years, Lagos has been ruled by a single group of
people/persons although their name has changed over time, they
are still the same set of people. Considering the fact that there has
been a change at the Federal level, Jimi is looked at by many is the
change that can be seen in Lagos, given the wanton
mismanagement of the state’s vast resources, human and otherwise.

8. Jimi Agbaje is not desperate for position:
In 2007 the AC under Tinubu offered Jimi the chance to go to the Senate in order to appease him after the sham of a primary that produced Raji Fashola. Jaykay rejected the "Greek gift" because he wouldn't want to be a product of imposition nor a puppet.

9. Jimi Agbaje is a Man of Himself...
He speaks for himself, does things based on conviction and has always made it clear that he is "not one of them".

Jaykay is Okay 4 Lagos
Re: Seven Reasons Why Everybody Loves Jim Agbaje by Princess042(f): 10:11am On Apr 10, 2015
Just like APC slogan, we need change in LAGOS
We are tired of the agberos in Lagos
We are tired of lekki toll fee
LASU students are tired of going on strike
We need a strong opposition to put APC in check
We are tired of TINUBU turning Lagos to his personal property.
We need a son of the soil
We need change
JIMI IS THE MAN
PDP IS THE PARTY

How does that affect Agbaje? Didn't Ekiti voted APC in 2009 and 2011 but rejected them in 2014 and 2015?

Re: Seven Reasons Why Everybody Loves Jim Agbaje by Forwetinnah:
APC is just a shameless party...parading certified crooks while pointing fingers at the PDP. The people are completeeeely shaaaaameless I tell you. The same Ambode who was sacked by Fashola in 2012 for stealing over 20 billion naira which was traced to one of Tinubu's many accounts is now a preferred candidate ?? What's he going there to do?? To steal more money for Tinubu. ..no be so?
I weep for the words "progressive" and "change"
Those words now have so much deception and lies attached to it...all thanks to the Nigerian drifters in APC

Wow he has a brilliant resume, but it is only good enough to dispense drugs behind the counter.

We are talking about governance, administration and leadership here.

Compare his CV with that of Ambode below

Re: Seven Reasons Why Everybody Loves Jim Agbaje by voxpopp: 11:54am On Apr 10, 2015
Me I sha know without Ibos, Lagos will not develop. Look at the important fields of interest they are well known for.

Prostitution, selling of fake video game discs, fake cds and dvds, fake drugs, peddling of hard drugs, piracy, selling of gala on the highway, selling of okrika clothing items, selling fake vehicle spare parts, importing substandard china goods, importing and exporting aba made clones etc.

This activities are very vital to the economical success of Lagos.

We cannot do without them grin

They are very vital to us grin . Pls oba Akiolu, don't kill them for us. We also love their girls with their flat bald heads, moustache, yam legs, and hairy limbs grin
