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.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
