The popular catch phrase for the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) flagbearer in Lagos State, Jimi Agbaje is “J.K We Know, J.K We Trust,” but what is confronting most people in Lagos social circle is the gist now enveloping the air on his alleged secret romance with youthful Yoruba actress, Folake Shadare.
Source revealed that unknown to most people; Jimi Agbaje was once the centre of a sizzling romance with the actress, which a wicked bird even said resulted in a pregnancy mess.
“A couple of years back, Folake and Jimi became intimately close and in a matter of months, news filtered out that the actress was two or three months pregnant and the father to be was J.K. Some of Folake’s friends advised her to keep the baby, but J.K would hear nothing of sort.
“He said after eight grown-ups, he was done with being a new father. After much pressure, he paid Folake N1.2M to take care of herself. I cannot confirm what happened to the pregnancy. You can make your own deduction, but weeks after she was given the money, she bought herself a Toyota Jeep, Rav 4. I think that was more than enough consolation for her part in the relationship,” said a source.
Another source revealed that, when it became obvious that Jimi Agbaje would fly the flag of the PDP in Lagos State, Folake became very excited and became the rallying point for the politician within the Yoruba movie world.
“She is the brain behind the ‘Artistes For Jimi Agbaje,’ campaign, she rallied some of her friends for support, though the support was marginal because of the allegiance of most of the cultivated Yoruba movie stars to the APC and its candidate, Mr. Akinwunim Ambode,” said the source.
The Jimi Agbaje camp is however denying this romance story, which they believe emanated from the APC to not only destroy Jimi Agbaje’s peaceful home, but his chances in the coming elections.
