Why Jimi Agbaje Will Pull Major Surprise Against Sanwo-Olu In Lagos Guber Election

Before he became the Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar was in Lagos state,

He met with “Yoruba leaders” and apologized for not “taking” Lagos for the PDP when he was Vice President of Nigeria. Atiku hinted never to pass up such an opportunity again.

The statement which took points away from the political wizardry of former governor Asiwaju Bola Tinubu earned Atiku great backlash.

The Tinubu political structure orchestrated a feedback that painted Atiku in unfavorable colours.

But in all these hysteria, the “mob” after Atiku failed to take cognizance of the fact that the former vice president had “diplomatically” put his honour at stake to get Lagos for the PDP.

Enter Jimi Agbaje, the gubernatorial candidate of the PDP in Lagos state.

Agbaje is the main opposition to Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the flag bearer of the ruling All Progressives Congress.

At a time the PDP was troubled in Lagos, Agbaje went against the very cohesive machinery that helped outgoing governor Akinwunmi Ambode to power.

Agbaje lost by barely one hundred and something votes.

Now the table is turned societynow.ng learned.

The supposedly intimidating All Progressives Congress structure in Lagos state is fragmented on multiple fronts.

The denial of governor Ambode a re-election ticket in an all-out fight has weakened the party, with the governor and his backers alleged to be hunting for a payback.

The situation is further compounded by talks those out to take away the might of Tinubu, in and out of his party, are feasting on the situation in a manner very detrimental to the interest of the powerful politician.

Societynow.ng gathered against this backdrop, the Atiku for President political structure has made Lagos a prime target.

“And they have thrown weight behind Agbaje with a promise to provide him with all it will take to beat the APC structure in Lagos in its weakened state” societynow.ng.

Insiders disclosed the deal was perfected at a very recent meeting outside of Nigeria.

Societynow.ng learned a high powered Atiku team held a strategy session and invited Agbaje to come with his blueprint.

Insiders disclosed that inputs were made into Agbaje’s presentation and the best way to “take Lagos” fashioned out.

Insiders disclosed deep pocket money men are currently lining up behind the Atiku team and funds and connections rolling in like no man’s business.

“Tinubu and his team are in for a major surprise” a source declared to societynow.ng.

The investigation conducted by societynow.ng revealed that the Atiku team are deploying a very “scientific approach” to wrest Lagos from the grasp of Tinubu and APC.

“Naturally, this tremendously helps Atiku’s presidential ambition but above all, with this, his honor is restored and Agbaje’s ambition fulfilled” a source pointed out to societynow.ng.
