Implicit in seeking re-election in 2007: hold a mandate that would withstand legal challenge.

Assessment

His 2007 re-election was successfully challenged by runner-up Olusegun Mimiko; the tribunal ruled against him in July 2008 and the Court of Appeal affirmed that ruling on 23 February 2009, citing massive irregularities and ordering Agagu be replaced by Mimiko roughly halfway through the four-year term.
