One of the aspirants in the Peoples Democratic Party Lagos State governorship primaries, Mr. Jimi Agbaje has said he is not sure if he will emerge as the candidate of the party.

Agbaje said this while fielding questions from journalists at the venue of the primaries.

Agbaje who is being supported by the leader of the party in the state, Chief Olabode George, said there was nothing wrong with the leadership of the party supporting him.

The aspirant said if he was given the ticket of the party, he would be able to give the All Progressives Congress a tough time at the February elections.

He, however, stated that he would not leave the party if he was denied the ticket.

Agbaje, who will have to defeat his fiercest rival, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro , before he could win, said he was the best candidate.

He said, “In politics you are supposed to bring all that you can offer to the table and try to convince the party hierarchy and the membership at the lower level that you are the best and if they are supporting me, it is because I have been able to convince them. “This whole thing is about winning the election, it’s not just about giving the ticket to anyone but giving it to the person that can win.

“Elections can be tricky but I have done my work. It’s a delegate thing and you can never know how the voting could go. I could win by a wide margin, by a small margin or I could lose.”
