The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship candidate for Lagos State, Jimi Agbaje has revealed why he lost the 2019 election in the state.

Agbaje attributed his defeat at the poll to suppression of votes and intimidation by the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).

According to him, the election was lost because people were prevented from turning up to vote due to strategies he believed was put in place by his opponent’s camp.

He said:

“From the outset it was clear that the numbers were on our side and naturally, that was our comparable strength but the moment you had the numbers slashed, then we were at a disadvantage.
