JK my Friend, He is never Just Kidding. You Judge! (A Must Read)
Sponsored post. Read below..
I’m Anthony Adewunmi. Jimi Agbaje is one friend that I can die for. They say he is Just Kidding. Let me leave that to you after sharing a few things you may not know about & that he doesn’t say.
Independent & assured: They offered him Deputy Governorship position, but said no
Of all our friends, JK is the most patient and independent minded. I remember when Bola Tinubu offered him the Deputy Governorship ticket of our friend and current Governor Fashola, he said no.
This story was later made public by a top party chieftain of the other party during a campaign rally where he tried to make my friend look ambitious. Look! JK will not serve any other interests but the people’s and says “I will only be Governor on my own terms” Do you know what it means to turn down Power?
And you say he is just kidding. OK.
Private Billionaire: Several $Billion Businesses he is a part of.
Pharmacist Jimi Agbaje is by all standards a successful businessman and one of the quiet billionaires in the country through Hardwork, Determination and Excellence. What most people don’t know is that he is sentimentally attached to the popular ‘JK Pharmacy’ called a one-shop by APC. What they do not know: He is the co-founder of Atlantic Hall School, His company Oakwood Park owns several Protea Hotels. He is an original investor in GT Bank, Do you know the Oil & Gas and Power Company Vigeo; Our friend is on the Board also. Jimi has seen hard earn cash and never stolen public funds. This is the spirit of Lagos.
And you say he is just kidding? OK
Quiet Achievements
He was a Key member in the Anti-Abacha struggle that gave Nigeria this democracy we so cherish. He served as both the Treasurer and Secretary of Afenifere’s Political Committee, a chieftain of the Alliance for Democracy and a key member of Save Nigeria Group alongside Save Nigeria Group. He was a Chairman of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria over 20 years Ago.
And you say he is just kidding? OK
Don’t Joke with Biola
Jimi does not play with his wife. They are that close. In 2007, he famously said “I DARE anybody to say he has seen Jimi Agbaje with any other woman apart from his wife” How many Rich, Successful and Politician can unequivocally say this.
I won’t pretend to be a Saint and won’t say Jimi is one either. But I am convinced he is a better choice than Ambode who I also know very well.
Forget all the talk about Party, PDP = APC and APC = PDP. Everyone is aware of the recent defections. Let’s vote the Man!

In this regard, Policemen for election duty have been properly briefed on their roles as stipulated in the Electoral Act.

INEC releases statement ahead of Saturday's elections
Press statement from INEC ahead of Saturday Gubernatorial elections..
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has received reports that some political leaders are asking members of the public to disregard its stated resolve to use Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and Smart Card Readers (SCRs) for the April 11, 2015 Governorship and State Assembly elections.
A particular state governor in the North Central geo-political zone is reported to have assured voters in the state that they could come out to vote on Election Day with Temporary Voter Cards (TVCs) if they do not have the PVC, and that INEC will not be allowed to insist on the use of SCRs for voter accreditation.
Members of the public are strongly advised to disregard false assurances that contradict the regulations INEC has outlined for the Governorship and State Assembly elections. The Commission reaffirms that only voters with genuine PVCs should come out to the polling units on Election Day, and that guidelines issued on the use of SCRs for the April 11 elections will be strictly applied. Any action infringing these guidelines will be an electoral offence, and security agents will be on hand to apprehend offenders.
The Commission commends Nigerian voters for their peaceful conduct and exemplary resilience, even in the face of minor challenges, during the Presidential and National Assembly elections on March 28, 2015. It, however, considers it unfortunate that some leaders would misguide the public and thereby prepare ground for needless disruptions to the polling process on April 11 . INEC hereby warns that any obstruction to the processes it has put in place for the elections by any person, no matter how highly placed, will constitute an electoral offence punishable in law.
Meanwhile, the Commission has assigned the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of Kogi State, Alhaji Hussaini Halilu Pai, to supervise the conduct of the Governorship and State Assembly elections in Kano State, following the tragic demise of Alhaji Minkala Abdullahi last weekend. Before his posting as FCT REC, Alhaji Pai was Ekiti State REC, who conducted the Governorship Election of June 21, 2014.
