The campaign team of governorship candidate of Lagos State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Jimi Agbaje, was on Thursday attacked by hoodlums believed to be supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), injuring a number of his supporters and damaging a dozen vehicles in their trail. Although the candidate himself escaped unhurt, several supporters were said to have sustained various degrees of injury, following attacks by the hoodlums who wielded dangerous weapons, including guns, knives, machetes, among others. The statement added that Agbaje was also denied use of the Ojo Town Hall that PDP leaders had earlier booked for their council’s version of the series of Town Hall meetings he had been holding around the state. At the town hall meeting that held at Olojo Drive, in Ojo, Agbaje praised the ethnic diversity of Lagos and said the multifaceted character of the city lent to its appeal. “We shall win the State House of Assembly, we shall win the Senate seats, we shall win the House of Representatives seats, we shall win the governorship and PDP shall win the presidential election,” he predicted.
