The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State, Abdul-Azeez Adediran, aka Jandor, has described the outcome of the presidential and National Assembly elections as inconsequential to his chances of emerging victorious in the forthcoming governorship elections in the state.
Adediran made the statement while addressing a gathering of Igbo communities that endorsed him as their preferred candidate on Saturday.
He said from next week, Lagosians would be celebrating their freedom from the ruling party’s government that refused to condemn hoodlums attacking residents and traders in the state.
Adediran said, “By this time next week, all of us will be out of that government that will not let us breathe on the road and at market places. That government that releases hoodlums to be attacking its citizens without condemning it for one day, their days are numbered. Next week, we will put an end to their existence in Lagos.
” Please, make no mistake, put out the votes, I am ready to protect it. They have been threatening; Jandor is ready to deploy security both conventional and unconventional for next Saturday’s elections.
“Whatever that has happened at the centre is inconsequential, this is Lagos and we are taking our Lagos back.
“From May 29, 2023, in Jandor you now have a governor that will understand that your coming into Lagos is to add to our prosperity. If anybody says to us that Lagos is a rich state today, it is because of your contribution in Alaba, Ladipo, Trade Fair, among other places.”
