Mr Jimi Agbaje has accused the leading All Progressive Congress (APC) of working against the principles of democracy.
Agbaje, who was the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last election in Lagos State, described the PDP as a united and strong opposition party.
“It’s not about my personal feeling, I am comparing the past and the present.
“Under the Peoples Democratic Party, you can’t take it away from our party that we allowed democracy to thrive.
“It is obvious that today, the ruling party is not very interested in democracy and you can see the hands in ensuring that opposition is not made to stand,” Agbaje said.
He made the accusation on Wednesday at the PDP convention in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital in south-south Nigeria.
