Obanikoro promises to work with Agbaje

Obanikoro had earlier engaged in a war of words with party leader, Bode George and called the PDP Governorship primaries, which Agbaje won, a sham.

Former Minister of State for Defence and Lagos governorship aspirant, Musiliu Obanikoro has made with peace with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and promised to work with the party’s candidate, Jimi Agbaje.

However, it seems the warring parties have sheathed their swords as the aggrieved aspirant has made a U-Turn.

According to the Director-General of the Koro Campaign Organisation, Adetokunbo Pearse the feud was ended due to the intervention of President Goodluck Jonathan.

“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,” Pearse said.

“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,” he added.
