Lagos Guber Candidate, Jimi Agbaje Writes On Threats To Non-Indigenes In Lagos

Below is a statement from Lagos PDP Governorship candidate, Jimi Agbaje over the reported statement made by the Oba of Lagos threatening the Igbos of death within 7 days if they refuse to vote for his candidate, Akinwumi Ambode. 

In the words of Winston Churchill: "Never, never, never give up. 

I'm aware of the intimidation that a lot of you might be facing as we head into the final stretch of this election campaign. I get it. I understand what you are going through because I also had to face it in the course of this campaign, if this serves as any consolation. 

One thing I've learnt in life, however, is that the people who threaten you, knowingly or unknowingly, further validate your importance and underscore advantage. I would like to take this time to encourage you all not to respond to intimidation with violence but rather confront it with the collective power of your votes. Change is coming to Lagos. Tell your friends and families. 

I hope you all had a pleasant Easter celebration." -Jimi Agbaje Lagos PDP Gov candidate
