I’ll Accept Defeat In Good Faith ─ Agbaje

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.”
