Adediran remains Lagos PDP leader- Party Spokesman

By Innocent Raphael

Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said Olajide Adediran (Jandor) remains one of the leaders of the party in the state.

Adediran is the governorship candidate of the Lagos PDP in the 2023 general elections.

This was contained in a statement by Hakeem Amode, the State Publicity Secretary.

Amode said Adediran’s recent political meeting was with his campaign committee and party members, and not an invitation to apologise for comments made as was widely reported.

He emphasised Adediran’s pivotal role as the party’s Governorship Candidate in the 2023 elections, asserting that his leadership does not impede the duties of executive members of the party and his steadfast commitment to the party, was worthy of recognition.

Amode further urged all party members to unite with Adediran to revitalise the Lagos PDP and prepare for improved performance in the 2027 elections.

His words: “Nobody can deny the fact that as the Governorship Candidate of the party in Lagos State in 2023, Jandor is now one of the leaders of the party in the state. His leadership does not affect the duties of the executive members of the party in the state.

“Why should Jandor be asked to apologise to the party for putting the records straight, when those who worked against the party have not been asked to apologise and are even being celebrated.

“Someone like Jandor ought to be celebrated rather than condemned for keeping the flag of the party flying despite all the shenanigans that took place before, during and after the elections.

“Jandor remains a bonafide and committed member of the Lagos PDP and he has proven to be reliable and efficient despite joining the party just about two years ago.

All hands must be on deck if we want the best for the Lagos PDP and we must deal with dissidents, who do not want the best for our party.”
