Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Lagos State chapter, Tunji Shelle has expressed optimism that his party's governorship candidate, Jimi Agbaje will emerge the Governor-elect of Lagos State at the end of today's voting exercise.Shelle, who spoke to newsmen after his accreditation at Baale Street, Igbo- Osan in Lekki said he is hopeful that the PDP will break the sixteen year-old jinx and produce the next governor who will liberate the residents from the clutches of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He also debunked the claim by the APC spokesman, Lai Mohammed that PDP is instigating violence in some parts of Lagos, saying PDP members in the state have been conducting themselves in appropriate manners from reports reaching him.
"We are hopeful and confident of victory at the end of the day. From the reports we are getting across the state, the PDP will carry the day at the end of the day. No matter the propaganda of the ruling party, no matter their rigging plot, I see our candidate, Jimi Agbaje emerging victorious".
Also speaking on the allegation by the APC that President Goodluck Jonathan visited Lagos where he met with some prominent leaders to rig for the PDP, Shelle urge Nigerians to ignore the APC's propaganda, saying "President Jonathan, by the grace of God still remains the President of the country and he is constitutionally allowed to go wherever he wishes.
"Few days ago, the President- elect, Muhammadu Buhari visited Lagos and campaigned for Ambode. The PDP never made any fuss about it. Why should the APC be crying wolf where there is none because the president visited Lagos?" He asked.
