Agbaje also shrugged off rumours that he may have been barred by the PDP Screening Committee.
Agbaje said “That I was disqualified or that I failed screening is news to me, although I also got a few people calling me to say that they heard the rumours too. But no problem, I have collected my Clearance Certificate. I have been cleared.
“The screening exercise began on Saturday. But most of us from Lagos were screened Sunday. Today, the certificate was handed over to us at the PDP Secretariat in Ibadan, which served as venue for the exercise.”It was learnt that documents that the panel asked the aspirants to present included relevant certificates backing the educational qualifications they claimed, NYSC Discharge Certificate, PDP membership card and voter’s card.
