The Lagos State chapter of the PDP has dismissed the purported endorsement of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for second term by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State insisting that its candidate Dr. Abdul-Azeez Adediran will defeat Sanwo-Olu on March 11 2023.

The party in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Hakeem Amode said he would have been disappointed if Wike had attended any event with a speaking role without his usual rant of a drowning man who will clutch at a straw.

The statement read in part: “I only wonder how Governor Wike, who didn’t support Jandor and couldn’t stop him from picking the party’s ticket in Lagos despite his supposed might within the PDP, would now apportion to himself the decision of generality of Lagosians in the forthcoming election.

“While we won’t but acknowledge Governor Wike’s developmental strides in Rivers State which has led to the influx of other state chief executives including Sanwo-Olu for commissioning, it is worrisome that Governor Wike will call Sanwo-Olu a performer without asking how many times he has invited anyone to Lagos for the commissioning of ordinary borehole in his almost four years in office as Governor.

“My dear Governor and Leader, we promise to render Sanwo-Olu jobless and send him to the club of you former Governors next year. Only God, who has seen Jandor and Lagos PDP this far, and the generality of Lagosians can determine his fate at the polls in 2023, not your endorsement.

“We will continue to sell our breath of fresh air agenda to Lagosians with the promise of a better tomorrow. Lagos needs a breath of fresh air!”
