A source said that the gubernatorial aspirant was convinced that the PDP in Lagos State has the best level of internal democracy of all the major parties likely to be in contention in Lagos. “It’s regrettable that, fifteen years into our current democratic system, so many parties still practice the culture of anointment or imposition of candidates,” said the source. He argued that Mr. Agbaje’s political advisers discovered that the PDP was abandoning the idea of imposition of candidates, accusing Bola Tinubu, a major force in the All Progressives Congress (APC) of continuing with his desire to dictate the direction of Nigeria’s major opposition party, including the undemocratic anointment of candidates for elective posts.
The pharmacist made the declaration after a tour of all the 20 local governments and 37 local council development area in the state.
We gathered that Agbaje announced his decision to join the PDP at a meeting with Eko Initiative, his political machinery which is promoting his candidacy ahead of the 2015 poll.
