The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Abdul-Azeez Adediran, Popularly known as Jandor claims he is not a mole for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Jandor stated this in response to rumours that he was planted in the PDP by the APC.
In an interview with NAN, Adediran stated that being APC’s mole and “giving them headaches” would be illogical.
Adediran claimed that despite being a member of the APC until January 2022, he never met Tinubu one-on-one.
He added that he is “strongly determined” to end APC’s reign in the state.
“It might be difficult for anybody to believe that I have never had a one-on-one meeting with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,” he said.
“I have not set my feet on his Bourdillon house. Yes, I was coming from APC, but I have never been elected or appointed. I have only been a consultant on that corridor.”
On the effects of the PDP’s national crisis, Adediran stated that the party has no problems that will affect its fortunes in the 2023 elections.
He said the G5 PDP governors are still major stakeholders in the party.
“For those who can take time to do a thorough diagnosis of the situation that is happening within the PDP, we know that PDP has no problem either at the national level or at the state level,” he said.
“None of the aggrieved governors is telling party members in their respective states to do otherwise on election day. They are major stakeholders in PDP business in their respective states.”
Adediran also dismissed reports that his candidacy was opposed by Bode George, a former PDP national deputy chairman.
“Chief Bode George never opposed my candidacy. He is my leader, he wants to see PDP win Lagos,” he added.
“I can assure you, he is on this 100 per cent and we are together. We don’t have any issues. As a national leader.”
