The Lagos State governorship candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, says
he will accept defeat in good faith if he loses the
election.

Agbaje’s major contender, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode,
is the governorship candidate of the ruling party in
Lagos, the All Progressives Congress.

According to the PDP candidate, election should
not be a do-or-die affair.

Agbaje said, “There is no attitude about it when it
comes to offering yourself to serve the people. If
they say they prefer the other candidate, then you
have to accept it in good faith. That is
sportsmanship.”

Agbaje arrived at his polling unit ─ 009 Douala,
Apapa ─ around 10am with his wife, but it took six
attempts for the card reader to recognise his
fingerprint.

Speaking on the experience, he said, “During the
last polls, the card reader worked like magic for
me. But today, it was at the sixth attempt that the
card worked.

“But that could be a problem in high density areas.
The process could drag on if the machines do not
work properly.”

Thanks JK. It is not a do or die affair.

I was foolish to have supported Buhari and dragged igbos on his behalf.

AMBODE NA ONLY U FIT DO AM...

SWDude:
I hope he has learnt a lesson. Don't be a sell out. Put the Yorubas first.

This line of tribal sentiments the south west has towed is very bad. Go to the oil & gas industry which predominantly belongs to the niger deltans and see how d yorubas are dominating because of their tribal bias. This fragile peace we currently enjoy should not be tampered with.

Ambode seems more sincere than this man. Jimi wants to lead Lagos a very complex and multi ethnic state and he his segregating one ethnic group from the others. We haven’t voted and he is already showing his true colors. This man is for himself, he is not for Lagosians. He claims he wants to rule a state and he sends out OPC to destroy the state’s public property.

PDP shamelessly dividing people for elections sake. They tried with religion in the Presidential election, now they are using tribal division for the gubernatorial election.

Looks like he was defeated 2000 years ago.

Who is tribal here? Ambode or Agbaje?

Can you allow such madness in your place?
Chris Ingige lost senate presidency position not because he incited Yoruba against Igbo or he embarrassed any eze or he claimed anambra for Yoruba, but because he belongs to a party they did not believed in. What would have happened to him if he does what Agbaje did.
The same Ingige incedence is happening to rochas.

I think Yorubas has tried enough for non_Yorubas in their land, they voted for Igbo federal house of rep, choose igbos as commissioners in strategic position and paid school fees, medical bills and so many things we don't even know. Yet you turn against the same people because of jonathan's loss.

In Osun, Akwa ibom woman won house of rep not because she a Yoruba woman, same thing with Igbo man made commissioner in kwara state during Muhammed lawal's term not because they are more than 10% but they are humbly part and parcel of the society, people appreciates their contribution and love them. But if they want to force them self on them and flex mustle in their own land who will tolerate that nonsense. Such attitude causes self awareness and reaccessment for a care free society and it breeds hostility.

So can we offer JK twitter and online Nobel prize for peace for conceding defeat with style. Thank you.

How many Yorubas are dominating your oil and gas industry? Compared to the number of your people making billions from Yorubaland and getting their goods from our ports?

Ok

Hope he does.

Still...

You confirmed that Agbaje did all that?

When Ambode was going on door-to-door campaign, Jimi was busy analysing the Oba's statements.

Now, His native Ikorodu rejected him

His fellow residents at Apapa rejected him

The neighbours of his campaign office at Ilupeju rejected him

Yorubas rejected him

Igbos don't trust him

Lagosians don't want him.

Today, Jimi Agbaje has become a political liability.

This should be a lesson to us all. In our pursuit for success, we should be very mindful of the kind of actions we take. You can't aim to lead a united community by dividing them.

Jimi, PDP and the Oba jointly tore into shreds of whatever bound us together as Lagosians. May God grant Ambode wisdom to handle Lagos a right.

Very shameless yoruba man. Lagos maybe in SW however very different from Osun, Ondo, Oyo, Oyo, Ogun and Ekiti in that 80% of taxes and duties paid into its coffers are by non yorubas...keep that in mind. When next you see Fashola commissioning a project...say big thank you to the non yorubas who are funding it through their taxes and duties. You think Lagos can function without them? You people should be very careful how carelessly you speak. Also say big thank you to the Niger Delta for your behemoth monthly allocation...you think you can survive without this handout by generous Niger Delta people? Speaking as a Niger Deltan, the day you Yoruba will marginalize any non yoruba in Lagos, be prepared to lose your federal monthly allocation and non payment of taxes and duties by non Yorubas...let's see how you will survive. You think Lagos would have attained its current economic and social status without nom yorubas and federal character? You want one Nigeria, you must abide by every law that glues us as Nigerians.

Which Oil and Gas Industry belongs to the Niger Delta as a property ? Are you nuts. ? And is Niger Delta Igbo ? The Yoruba have no issue with Niger Delta so dont craft them in by style. Fight your own battle alone, animal. No peace with and for the wicked.

He is surely loosing this

VI§IONIST.....its only a wise man like you that sees the shell of a snail and know if it pregnant or not....ABUSITE I REPRESENT
