Nigeria politics sef.......hehehe.....Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, a former governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Lagos State has dropped his agitation over the Lagos PDP governorship primary election, vowing to support the candidature of Jimi Agbaje who emerged winner at the primaries, The Punch reports.
Obanikoro had been contesting the outcome of the primary election, leading to war of words with the leaders of the PDP in the state.
Quoting Obanikoro campaign director, Dr. Adetokunbo Pearse, the turn around came as a result of the intervention of President Goodluck Jonathan.
According to Pearce, part of the terms of the agreement reached with the President was that Obanikoro would be given a senior ministerial slot and not Minister of state which is a junior ministerial position.
He said, “We have listened to the President’s appeal and have decided to settle out of court. Obanikoro will return as a minister but part of the terms is that he will be given a full ministerial position. We were told that he would head a ministry but we were not told what ministry in particular.
“He will help the President to campaign in Lagos and we will also work with Agbaje. We are willing to work with Chief Bode George and we will reconcile with the party.”
