Except last minute change in plan, the anointed candidate to assume the coveted position of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party national Chairman, Mr Jimi Agbaje may have incur the wrath of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC over an alleged $12 million receipt from the embattled former national Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki, report according to Elombah.comsuggests
Agbaje who was the PDP candidate in the 2015 election but lost to Akinwunmi Ambode, is said to be endorsed and anointed by the party's governors to emerge as the National chairman at the Port Harcourt convention slated to hold tomorrow
Though unconfirmed, the Elombah's report suggests that the EFCC is plotting to arrest him at the venue of the PDP national convention in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
Agbaje is alleged to have received the sum of $12m from the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
Elombah reported that the anti-graft agency, EFCC has been investigating Mr. Agbaje for a while and has perfected plan to embarrass him with arrest at the convention ground
When asked if the timing of the arrest was a ploy to embarrass Mr. Agbaje, our source who pleaded anonymity said he cannot confirm such.
But he only confirmed authoritatively that Agbaje will be picked on Wednesday.
Agbaje, a pharmacist and former Treasurer of the Yoruba sociocultural group, Afenifere was a former member of the Alliance for Democracy (AD).
He later defected to the Democratic Peoples Alliance (DPA) where he contested the 2007 governorship election in Lagos.
In 2014 he joined the Peoples Democratic Party on whose ticket he contested the 2015 guber elections.
He lost to incumbent Governor Akinwumi Ambode of the All Progressive Congress.
