A former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Jimi Agbaje, has denied defecting to the All Progressives Congress.
There had been posts on social media indicating that Agbaje had defected to APC to work for the emergence of Bola Tinubu as Nigeria’s president.
Reacting, Agbaje denied defecting in a chat with The PUNCH on Wednesday.
When asked if he has defected, Agbaje replied, “Definitely not. No truth to the story.”
Agbaje’s denial came amid reports that he had left PDP for APC.
In a post that surfaced online, Agbaje was said to have called on youths to embrace APC in the country.
The post was accompanied by a picture with text reading, “Lagos 2023 elections: Jimi Agbaje joins APC …in support of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu”.
