However, see what someone said online about him below ….
Jimi Agbaje my man.
The one who contests and losses, then goes silent for 4yrs without contributing anything to policy debates and vibrant opposition, only to reappear again for another loss.
My very 1st vote as a citizen who decided to exercise his democratic franchise, was for Jimi Agbaje of DPA. Having began campaigning early to replace Tinubu while in the newly formed Action Congress AC in 2006, he decamped to DPA when it became obvious Tinubu wanted his Chief of Staff, Fashola, to succeed him.
Till today, that 2007 campaign has been Jimi Agbaje’s most vibrant campaign, managing to finish 3rd behind Fashola and Obanikoro. His campaign was powered by the educated youth and civilised working class, a population grouping that is not as resilient as the market women or transport unions or Alausa civil servants.
“Do you want same of the same, or do you want Jimi Agbaje?”. He regarded himself as different, promising to be caring, thinking, working.
Having joined APC also at its formation, then decamping to PDP to secure their ticket in 2015, Jimi Agbaje has since become same of the same he campaigned against, and JK is no longer OK.
He certainly will not have my vote like in 2007, and after his certain loss at the polls, he will disappear in typical fashion, without contributing to an opposition that should keep the politics and government of Lagos vibrant. |
