Face-Off: Bode George Should Shut Up And Leave PDP – Jimi Agbaje

Things seem to be falling apart in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State. Perhaps, this can be attributed to the party’s dismal performance in the last general elections. The party seems not to have gotten over it and it has led to the blame game among leaders of the party.

The latest crisis rocking the Lagos PDP is between its candidate in the governorship election, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, and a former Deputy National Chairman of the party, Chief Olabode George. The two are at each other’s throat over defection insinuations.

Bode George and Jimi Agbaje Though, there have been insinuations making the round that Agbaje had perfected plans to dump the PDP, he has since refuted the claims. While Agbaje accused George of insinuating his defection from the PDP, George described the former as failed governorship candidate.

Posts that Agbaje had joined APC have featured prominently on social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook in the past few days. One of the posts sighted recently both on WhatsApp and Facebook read:

“Lagos PDP finally emptied as Jimi Agbaje defects to APC”. Mr. Felix Oboagwina, media aide to Agbaje, had denied reports that his principal had dumped the opposition party. A

gbaje, through the aide, also accused the leadership of the party in Lagos of alleged plans to “give the dog a bad name and chase it away from the party.” Oboagwina said that social media posts that Agbaje had left the PDP to join the All Progressives Congress, APC, were untrue.

He said: “There is nothing like that, nothing like that at all. He is still in PDP; he has not defected. “How can people say he has defected on social media? He is too big for that; he is in PDP.”

When asked if there were plans by his principal to dump the PDP for APC, he answered in the negative. While lampooning the a former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP for insinuating that he has defected to the APC, Agbaje said:

“People should please tell Bode George to shut up and leave PDP if he lacks any value to add to the party, instead of being a dog in the manger hampering the progress of the party in Lagos State. “He should tell the world where he got the news being spreading round.
