Endorsing Agbaje for governor,
the Archbishop of Resurrection Praise Ministry, Sampson Mustapha
Benjamin said: “Agbaje is a man who identifies with all tribes, the poor
and less privileged. Agbaje is a man who does not discriminate against
non-indigenes. My dealings with him revealed his openness and a large
heart that reaches out to all. With Agbaje as the governor in Lagos, we
have got it right because his administration will be positively
all-encompassing and will benefit all residents of the state from elites
to the downtrodden.”

motorcycles could access such places.
