While addressing party members at the PDP’s secretariat in Lagos, Agbaje maintained his stance- that he was the duly elected governor of the state at the April 11 polls.
Speaking in pidgin English, he urged members of the party to shun bitterness and work together to rebuild the party, in spite of the election loss.
“Some members were annoyed because the monies meant for the elections were not given to them to prosecute the last polls. I am angry too because the PDP won the last election in the state but was denied victory. I finish election, na gbese, I carry for head.”
Also speaking at the gathering was the Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Bode George, who blamed a former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, for the party’s fortunes in the governorship election.
“Our victory was scuttled by evil characters who preferred the narrow position of the ministerial office than the collective esteem and honour of winning the governorship election in Lagos State.”
“We were defeated by the agent provocateurs within our ranks. We were defeated by political renegades who merely invested in their own greedy and selfish interests.”
“This cannot continue. Nobody is above the constitution of the party. We must either strictly adhere to the normative pattern of the party rules or we ship out. There will be no exemptions.”
“The party is supreme. Enough of all these so-called groupings. Groupings do not build a healthy and strong national party. It is parochial and destructive.
