Attack on Jandor’s convoy: Lagos APC reacts

Lagos State All Progressives Congress (APC) has laughed over the allegations by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over claims that APC thugs attacked its party’s governorship candidate in the state, Jandor’s campaign train that left many injured with a series of injuries.

Recall that the PDP Publicity Secretary in Lagos State, Mr. Hakeem Amode, had in a statement on Sunday, October 23rd, 2022, stated that; “The campaign train of the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party was attacked today while returning from visitation to members of the party at the Ikoga Junction area of Badagry Local Government by All Progressives Congress sponsored thugs this evening.”

He said the attack led to injuries of several members of Jandor’s entourage and pressmen. As of the time of this press statement, one of the news reporters is in critical condition in an undisclosed hospital while those injured are being treated.

“The thugs that attacked the campaign train were shouting APC while shooting guns and using dangerous weapons.”

The APC Publicity Secretary, Lagos State Chapter, Mr. Seye Oladejo, in his reaction, said; “This is just another level in the propaganda machinery of the PDP candidate to curry public sympathy through blatant lies and unsubstantiated claims.”

“The opposition party before now had more credible and accomplished candidates who flew their flags during elections and ran a good race. It is worthy of note that neither were they so desperate nor unnecessarily heat up the polity with needless lies.”

“One cannot but wonder what led to the descent to the lowest abyss. Nigerians know too well that this is the season of endless comedy of the absurd coming from the stable of the professionals.”

“They are advised to focus on issues-based campaigns that will make life more meaningful for all Lagosians. However, we understand that it can be overwhelming, frustrating, and depressing to contest against a highly successful incumbent who has become the yardstick for good governance.”
