THE leader of the Lagos4Lagos movement, Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, popularly known as ‘Jandor’ has advised the electorate in Lagos to ignore party affiliation and cast their votes for individuals who are of good reputation and foresight on Thursday, January 20th, 2022.
AlimoshoToday.com reported Jandor's defection from the APC and his crossing to the PDP with several followers under the Lagos4Lagos movement some weeks ago.
Jandor said this at the Lagos4Lagos gathering organised by the Amuwo Odofin Local Government chapter of the Lagos4Lagos Movement to express their readiness for the formal declaration of the group for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday, January 21st, 2022.
In his address, Jandor said: "With us coming together to join forces, we are going to win with ease. January 21 is the day that we have set aside for a final burial of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos state. That day, that political party called APC will cease to exist in Lagos. We are going to rewrite the history of our dear state and it will happen in 2023.
“I would like to address you, I know I have received many calls from so many quarters that some in PDP are abusing us because we are coming, they are calling us names but I have said one thing to our people, I said don’t attack anybody we are going to use love and hard work to buy all of them to our side and that is what we are going to do.
“We are not coming into PDP to destroy what you have done in the name of party structure, but what we have brought to you is to say, yes you have the structure, but take a decision whether you want to continue to use that structure to be delegates and get something in the name of being delegates and it ends there or use it and convert it to government structure.
“There is a need to assess all the aspirants and examine who among them can win a general election. It is by so doing that we can win the state”, Jandor said.
The aspirant has also said that no fewer than 10 governors have confirmed their attendance for his formal move to the PDP on Friday, January 21st.
“Working closely with former governor Babatunde Fashola during his tenure, I remember vividly at a point then that he mandated all ministries of government to create a platform for all persons living with disabilities so that they can access government facilities. We learnt a lot from that and I can assure that we will build on that to build a Lagos that works for all”, Jandor concluded.
The PDP will organise an event to welcome the Lagos4Lagos movement who defected from the ruling APC today, January 21st.
