The Lagos State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the 2023 election, Dr. Abdulazeez Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, says leaders of the party who supported another candidate during the last elections have ceased to be members of the party.
In what appeared to be a stock-taking session, Jandor hosted members of his campaign team to a thank you ceremony and a state of the nation address where he also declared that he is now the leader of the PDP in the state.
According to him, leaders of the party who openly declared for another candidate both during the presidential and governorship elections are no longer members of the party.
Jandor came third in the governorship election won by the incumbent Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu.
He also lost the cases filed at the Tribunal, Appeal Court and the Supreme Court where he sought to be declared the winner of the election, alleging that the governor presented a fake secondary school result.
Reminiscing on the entire process, Jandor said the experience of the PDP and its candidates in the 2023 election was not different from the past when some party leaders betrayed the party by working against its candidates.
Some leaders of the party worked for the candidate of Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi in the Presidential election.
The governorship candidate reiterated that working against the party has been the stock in trade of those party leaders, recalling that in the 2019 election, the same group declared support for ADP against PDP and also worked for Labour Party in the 2017 local government election.
He however declared that as the candidate of the party in the last election, he is now the number one leader of the party.
He however assured that he would remain in the party to continue to provide the leadership for every party member “looking for a true leader that is selfless.” “I am ready to provide leadership for all of you. I still have the flag of our party in my hand and I am not dropping it,” he stated.
