I’m not mole for APC – Jandor, Lagos PDP gov candidate

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran, (a.k.a. Jandor), has declared that he is not a mole for the All Progressives Congress (APC) but strongly determined to end the reign of APC in Lagos.

Jandor stated that it would be illogical for him to be APC’s mole in PDP and be giving APC ‘headaches’ in his campaigns.

Adediran said that, though, he was in APC for some years until January 2022, he had not had a one-on-one meeting with Tinubu, a former Governor of the state.

Jandor declared: “It might be difficult for anybody to believe that I have never had a one-on-one meeting with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

“I have not set my feet on his Bourdillon house. Yes, I was coming from APC, but I have never been elected nor appointed.

“I have only been a consultant on that corridor.”

Adediran noted that the party had no problem both at the national and state levels that could affect its fortune in the 2023 elections.

He said that the G-5 PDP governors are still major stakeholders in the party.

According to Adediran: “For those who can take time to do a thorough diagnosis of the situation that is happening within the PDP, we know that PDP has no problem either at the national level or at the state level.

“None of the aggrieved governors is telling party members in their respective states to do otherwise on election day.

“They are major stakeholders in PDP business in their respective states.”

Adediran also described as false, insinuations that his candidacy was opposed by Chief Olabode George, a former PDP National Deputy Chairman and PDP stalwart in Lagos State.

“Chief Bode George never opposed my candidacy. He is my leader; he wants to see PDP win Lagos.

“I can assure you; he is on this 100 per cent and we are together.

“We don’t have any issue. As a national leader,” Jandor  said.
