I’ll Accept Defeat In Good Faith ─ Jimi Agbaje

The Lagos State governorship candidate of
the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Jimi
Agbaje, says he will accept defeat in good
faith if he loses the election.
Agbaje’s major contender, Mr. Akinwunmi
Ambode, is the governorship candidate of
the ruling party in Lagos, the All
Progressives Congress.
According to the PDP candidate, election
should not be a do-or-die affair.
Agbaje said, “There is no attitude about it
when it comes to offering yourself to serve
the people. If they say they prefer the other
candidate, then you have to accept it in
good faith. That is sportsmanship.”
Agbaje arrived at his polling unit ─ 009
Douala, Apapa ─ around 10am with his
wife, but it took six attempts for the card
reader to recognise his fingerprint.
Speaking on the experience, he said,
“During the last polls, the card reader
worked like magic for me. But today, it was
at the sixth attempt that the card worked.
“But that could be a problem in high
density areas. The process could drag on if
the machines do not work properly.”
