Jimi Agbaje denies joining APC ... Describes it as stinking pit of a rumour
 

By Our Correspondent

A former gubernatorial candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Jimi Agbaje, has denied rumours making the rounds that he has joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).

   In a swift reaction to the speculation, the spokesperson for Mr Agbaje, Ms Modupe Ogunbayo, described the rumours in a statement to PREMIUM TIMES on Wednesday as “misinformation.”

According to Premium Times report  

the statement was reacting to a viral WhatsApp message, which began circulating this week, that Mr Agbaje, a pharmacist, had “rejoined” the APC.

“I’m fully back in APC to join our Southwest leaders as well as progressive family and friends in Lagos State,” the message read.

“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 (PDP) to add my strength.

“I believe It’s time to support and also to 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 (APC).”

Ms Ogunbayo said Mr Agbaje, who has been a member of the party since 2011, remains a resolute and loyal member of the PDP.

“It has never crossed the mind of Mr Olujimi Kolawole Agbaje, to leave the PDP where he is unobtrusively but assiduously collaborating with other party faithfuls to achieve party objectives especially, victory for the party in the 2023 elections,” the statement read.

“This stinking pit of a rumour that he has left the PDP for any other party is frivolous mischief and patently false. The general public is dearly enjoined to treat this misinformation with deserved disdain." The statement added.
