Mr Jimi Agbaje, has on Wednesday, declared his intention to contest the 2019 Lagos State gubernatorial election.

He has also chosen the PDP as a platform to contest and expressed optimism that he would clinch the party ticket.

“It is true that initially I did not want to re-contest, but I had so many people urging me to run.”

“I bought and submitted my nomination form shortly before it closed. I will be part of the PDP Lagos governorship primaries, billed for Friday, September 28th, ” he said.

Naija News recalls Agbaje contested against incumbent governor, Akinwunmi Ambode and lost in 2015.
