THE Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos state, Dr Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has wooed traditional chiefs, and members of the Igbo-community in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State for support ahead of the 2023 polls.
The Baales and Igbo community in the area expressed their support during the ongoing tour by the Jandor campaign team across the wards of the council area.
Speaking during a strategic meeting with some chiefs of Awori origin, the Baale of Orisunbare and Chief Akeeb Raufu Adebowale, said it has become necessary to support Jandor, “as the son of the soil.”
Jandor, after listening to the chiefs and leaders in the area, told them that, as a grassroots leader, he had come to personally interact with them and know the problems confronting them to enable him to tackle them headlong when he is elected, assuring that everyone would be a stakeholder in his government when he emerges as the governor in 2023.
He stressed the need for the Aworis to support him as they have been neglected by successive administrations in the state and by the progressive party, without corresponding development.
According to Jandor, “My government will be in partnership with the people and be an independent government devoid of second-level approval by any godfather.
“I’m your son, this is your own and together, we will achieve the unprecedented feat. We will defeat the incumbent governor in next year's polls.
"They should start packing their baggage. The game is up. It’s the turn of people to take charge of the reins of power in Lagos.
“Lagos has never had it this bad in its entire history. No single project completed and commissioned in the last three years and months of the present administration.”
