2023: Jimi Agbaje speaks on defecting from PDP to APC

The 2019 Lagos governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Jimi Agbaje, has spoken about dumping his party to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Agbaje denied defecting from PDP to APC and said it’s the turn of Nigerians.

Reports emerged on Monday that Jimi had joined the ruling party to support APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, ahead of the 2023 general election.

In a post online, titled ‘Awalokan 2023’ a message was shared along with a picture that read, “I’m fully back in APC to join our South-West leaders as well as progressive Family and friends in Lagos State.

“The Awalokan 2023 is a project that both young and old in all the nooks and crannies of the Southwest should be embraced.

“On this note, I sincerely join APC from the major opposition party to add my strength.

“I believe it’s time to support and also appreciate Senator Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the forthcoming Presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.”

But in what appeared to be a reaction to the report on his Twitter page, Agbaje, who wrote in Yoruba, said it’s the turn of Nigerians.

He noted that he is still a member of the PDP.

“Eyin ko lokan o. Nigerians lokan, Jimi Agbaje – PDP. #2023NigeriaElections #2023presidency,” he wrote.
