The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State, Abdul-Azeez Adediran, aka Jandor,has described the outcome of the presidential and National Assembly elections as inconsequential to his chances of emerging victorious in the forthcoming governorship elections in the state.
“From May 29, 2023, in Jandor you now have a governor that will understand that your coming into Lagos is to add to our prosperity. If anybody says to us that Lagos is a rich state today, it is because of your contribution in Alaba, Ladipo, Trade Fair, among other places.”
Speaking further, Adediran said before the presidential election, all the Igbos he and his campaign team visited said they would follow their brother and assured him of getting their votes on March 11. He added, “I told everybody that cares to listen that every PDP candidate that lost the election in Lagos did not lose to whoever they contested with, they lost to Peter Obi. Even though you did what we don’t like to us at PDP, you have been able to prove to us that you don’t change where you stand.
“Now, I know in this coming governorship election, Jandor has been identifying with you for a very long time, when Ladipo market caught fire, I was the only Lagos politician that went to the market off election season. “This election that is coming is for our freedom; when they announce Jandor as the winner, the kind of jubilation that happened when Abacha died will happen in Lagos.”All rights reserved.
