Jimi Agbaje, Lagos state governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2015 election, says the party will remain alive in spite of its internal problems.

Agbaje, a candidate for the party’s national chairman position, told NAN in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, that members would keep the party alive, as it is opposition in the country.

He said the decision of delegates to extend the tenure of the Makarfi-led national caretaker committee is a good option aimed at keeping the party stronger.

“It is obvious that from the situation we found ourselves, we must keep the PDP alive. It is the still the veritable platform for the opposition,” Agbaje said.

“So, the best option is what we have taken, which is to extend the life of the caretaker committee, to expand it as we have decided and to give room for whatever litigation.”

He said members believe that at the end of the day, the truth will prevail because the majority will have their way.

“The PDP is definitely not going to die. The PDP is going to fight for its staying alive,” he said.

Agbaje also expressed optimism that before the end of the year, the party would bounce back stronger and more united.

“I’m sure that within the year, we will be very much stronger”.
