Agboola, a former Senator favours the PDP flagbearer, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar while Makinde, Governor Ortom and Governor Wike had shown from their moves that they are against the choice of Atiku as the candidate.
Agboola was known as one of the closest aides to Governor Makinde and it came as a huge surprise when he made his intention known with the declaration that he cannot work with any other presidential candidate except Atiku Abubakar.
The former Senator hinged his reasons on past relationship and party progress, he has always been one of the points men of the former Vice President in the South West.
According to pundits, Agboola’s exit from the Makinde group could cause some set backs as he is regarded as a grassroot mobiliser.
