Obanikoro will work with Jimi Agbaje in the next Year Governorship election in Lagos

The Director-General of Senator Musiliu Obanikoro governorship campaign Group in Lagos, Dr.   Adetokunbo Pearse has revealed that Obanikoro will withdraw his court case against  the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje.

After the PDP Primaries Obanikoro has been having issues with Agbaje and Chief Bode George, a PDP leader in the state, over the governorship primary which was considered not free and fair.

Dr. Pearse also revealed that President Goodluck Jonathan had intervened in the feud between the party chieftains and promised Obanikoro that he would be given a senior ministerial slot in 2015.

After the President intervention,Obanikoro has now decided to work with Agbaje, in a bid to defeat the All Progressives Congress (APC) in next year governorship election in Lagos.

 

"We have listened to the President’s appeal and have decided to settle out of court. Obanikoro will return as a minister but part of the terms is that he will be given a full ministerial position. We were told that he would head a ministry but we were not told what ministry in particular.

“He will help the President to campaign in Lagos and we will also work with Agbaje. We are willing to work with Chief Bode George and we will reconcile with the party.”
