Jimi Agbaje, Lagos State Governorship Aspirant of the Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) has said that he would no longer contest for Governor of the state.
This is coming after losing out to his Opponent, Akinwunmi Ambode of All Progressives Congress (APC).
"I have tried once. This is the second one and the last one. I am not going to run again. For me, there are many ways to be of service to your people.
I have been of service in different ways. I am happy with what I have done for my people. Being a governor is one way I can contribute. I will find other ways to be of service to my people," Agbaje said during an interview with Channels Television on Sunday, April 12.
"We ran a race. There will be winners and there will be losers. As good sportsman, we accept it as true leaders. That is the only way to go. Having accepted it, if we do feel cheated and that there are substantial issues to be raise, then we will follow due process. That is how it should be. But definitely, violence, abuse and all will not be an issue," he added.
Agbaje who conceded defeat to Ambode via a congratulatory phone call on Sunday had previously contested for the governorship of Lagos in 2007 on the platform of the Democratic Peoples' Alliance (DPA).
