The governorship candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Mr Jimi Agbaje, has debunked claims made by the State Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN) that he (Agbaje) had paid ₦500,000 out of the ₦1,629,000 his firm, Jaykay Pharmaceuticals was owing the State in tax default.
Governor Fashola had, during an interactive session with journalists over the weekend at Lagos House Marina, disclosed that Agbaje had paid ₦500,000 out of the ₦1,629,000 his company, Jaykay Pharmacy Limited, was owing the Lagos State Government as land use charge for a period of four years (2010-2012).
The governor said: "we said his pharmacy owes ₦1.629 million land use charge, he said it was all lies. He said that he has resigned his position from the company. But today, he has gone to pay a sum of ₦500,000.
"I have to remind him that he is yet to complete his payment. He must pay because that money belongs to the councils. His payment showed that what we said was true. I have listened to some of the interviews of Agbaje".
However, in his reaction, Agbaje described the governor's insinuation that his company had paid ₦500,000 as a "political silly season".
JK as he is fondly called by his admirers and supporters made his reaction known via his Facebook page.
