Jimi Agbaje has won the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
governorship primary election in Lagos state.
With 1,100 votes, Agbaje defeated Deji Doherty who polled
742 votes. The primary election which lasted for two days was supervised by a
panel chaired by Victor Kassim Oyofo.
Agbaje was the party’s candidate in the 2015 election but he
lost to Akinwunmi Ambode, incumbent governor of the state.
In the 2019 election, Agbaje will be in the race with Jide
Sanwo-Olu who recently emerged as the candidate of the ruling All Progressives
Congress (APC).
