Former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Jimi Agbaje has debunked a viral report that he has joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Gatekeepers News reports on Wednesday a post went viral on social media claiming that Agbaje had joined the APC to work for the emergence of Bola Tinubu as Nigeria’s president.
A post that surfaced online was accompanied by a picture with text reading, “Lagos 2023 elections: Jimi Agbaje joins APC …in support of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu”.
Titled ‘Awalokan 2023’ a text shared along with the picture read, “I’m fully back in APC to join our South-West leaders as well as progressive Family and friends in Lagos State.
“The Awalokan 2023 is a project that both young and old in all the nooks and crannies of the Southwest should be embraced.
“On this note, I sincerely join APC from the major opposition party to add my strength.
“I believe It’s time to support and also appreciate Senator Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the forthcoming Presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.”
When asked if he has joined the APC, Agbaje told The Punch, “Definitely not. No truth to the story.”
