Lagos guber: Jandor denies stepping down

The Lagos PDP governorship candidate, Abdul-Azeez Adediran (Jandor), says the party has no official alliance with any political party and he is not stepping down for any candidate.

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had fixed the governorship and House of Assembly elections for Saturday, March 18.

Addressing newsmen at his campaign office in Ikeja on Thursday, the 45-year-old Adediran said he was in the race to win and bring in a breath of fresh air.

He urged residents to support his ambition, having presented himself against all odds to challenge the status quo in the state.

“We are here stating that all the rumours that are out there purportedly being sold by some people in some quarters are nothing but false.

“Lagos PDP is not in alliance with any political party. As the candidate of the party, I have not stepped down for anybody, we are not stepping down for anybody, and we are not going to step down for anybody.

“There has not been any formal meeting between Lagos PDP and any political party as such to say that we are on a round-table discussing alliance,” he said
