Blackmail, mischief won’t stop PDP from winning Lagos in 2023, says Jandor

The Lagos4Lagos group, led by Dr. Abdul-azeez Olajide Adediran, otherwise called Jandor, has said that no amount of blackmail and mischief from the camp of the All Progressives Congress (APC) would stop the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from winning the governorship seat in Lagos State come 2023.

In a statement issued by his Press Secretary, Kasim Bakare, apparently responding to a publication in The Nation Newspaper, on Saturday, 25 December, titled ‘Jandor: New Party, Fresh trouble’, Dr. Adediran said the “false and malicious article claiming that his entry into the PDP has caused ripples within the party in Lagos was a blatant lie designed to mislead the people.”

He added that “Contrary to the spurious claims of the writer, Jandor’s entry into the PDP has brought unity, sense of purpose and renewed vigour to its quest to take over the reins of power in Lagos come 2023.”

Kasim stated that with the renewed onslaught on Jandor the APC in the state could no longer hide its pains over Jandor’s defection to PDP as it has embarked on “false and malicious campaigns,celebrating non-existing feud in PDP over Jandor’s defection.

“Apparently, the faceless individual behind the hatchet job suffers from illusion, or selective amnesia, to undermine  the warm reception of Jandor by ALL the tendencies in the Lagos PDP.

“Of course, we do understand how badly hit the ilk of this hireling and the paymasters in the APC have been since Jandor’s decision to move into the PDP.

“We are not oblivious of the plans of the APC to cause confusion and disaffection within the PDP from outside. In fact, after the party  realized that Jandor’s movement to PDP was unstoppable, they resorted to blackmail claiming Jandor was in the PDP to resurrect the party,” he said.

The statement also said that, “Though not unexpected, the APC propaganda machinery has always failed to dwell on issues. Apparently unable to undermine the efforts of Jandor to unite the party in its quest to wrest power from APC, the report only referred to the reservation of a PDP chieftain to represent the views of chieftains and elders in the party in Lagos State.

“It is pertinent to state here again that Jandor is in the PDP to subject his aspiration to a popularity test through a fair and just process, one that is evidently lacking in the APC.

“Again, we are not surprised that the malicious report from the APC’s hatchet man made a feeble attempt to paint a picture of imposition from the national body of PDP,” the statement said.
