Unlike Buhari who ran four times before eventually winning, the Peoples Democratic Party candidate Jimi Agbaje has declared his intention not to contest again for the position of governor in Lagos after losing twice.
Speaking on Channels TV this evening after his opponent Akinwunmi Ambode had been declared the winner of yesterday’s poll, Agbaje said that it is obvious that Lagosians had made their choice and it would be senseless to resort to violence.
Agbaje lost to the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode by a 152,206 vote margin. He said he would never run again.
“I tried once before, this is the second one. I’m not running again,” he said. “If I can’t be of service as governor, there are other ways of serving the state. I will find other ways of serving.”
Agbaje, 58, called Ambode some minutes before 6pm on Sunday evening to concede defeat to the APC candidate.
