Obanikoro has sued PDP for 'manipulating' it's
gubernatorial primaries which took place on Monday
in Lagos, with Jimi Agbaje emerging the winner.
According to him, Chief Bode George and Ogunlewe
manipulated the results and after petitioning the party nothing was done about it, which made him
ahead for a Federal High court in Abuja. "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 said. Describing chief Bode George and Ogunlewe he said;
"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."
