Senator Musiliu Obanikoro has sued the Peoples Democratic Party before a Federal High Court in Abuja over the conduct of the Lagos State governorship primary which produced Mr. Jimi Agbaje as the winner.Speaking to his supporters and journalists at his campaign office in Lagos on Friday, Obanikoro said, “We must stand by the truth and the truth is that last Monday’s primary must be cancelled and re-conducted. We turned in our petition on Tuesday, thinking that on Thursday, the party would reply according to its guidelines but it has not responded as we speak. When I noticed that the party did not respond, we went to a Federal High Court and sued the party. I stand for a greater Lagos and anything that will derail that journey will be fought with every drop of my blood.”
He further added that, “Chief Olabode George thinks that he could just bark and people like us would sit down but I think by now, he would have got the message and we will stand shoulder to shoulder. This is not about age because if you want to be respected, you must respect yourself. We told him at the beginning that if he wants to be the unifier and be an umpire, he has to be above board but he and Ogunlewe did not do that, they became the Director-General and Deputy Director-General of Agbaje Campaign Organisation.”
