Lagos is in bondage, Buhari is a captive – Jimi Agbaje Even - TopicsExpress

Lagos is in bondage, Buhari is a captive – Jimi Agbaje Even the most demure and reserved politician would be forced to go on the offensive during electioneering campaigns, especially in Nigeria’s peculiar political landscape. The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos state, Jimi Agbaje has dished his own share of subliminal verbal attacks. Agbaje described the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress as lacking vision and and being a captive of a certain politician. At an interactive media session at the weekend, Agbaje said the country cannot be allowed to fall into the same bondage, Lagos state is presently lying in. He said: “The Buhari of now is not the same Buhari of 2007 and 2011 and I can defend this anywhere. The Buhari of 2011 was running on his own steam. The Buhari of 2015 is a captive. We know who is behind his running mate. We know those who put all those working in his team where they are today.” “We can’t be fighting bondage in Lagos and also put ourselves in bondage at the national level. The same model that is paying out in Lagos is what they want to replicate at the national level. We have to fight it. That is the reality on ground. We have to refuse the attempt at bringing the same me failed model in Lagos State to the centre,” Agbaje added.
