The 2023 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State, Olajide Adediran, commonly called Jandor, says he doesn’t have to consult with President Bola Tinubu, to become the governor of Lagos.
Jandor stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Tuesday.
It was gathered that Jandor’s political history started with the All Progressives Congress, APC, before he left the party with his Lagos4Lagos Movement, a bloc within the ruling party in 2022.
He joined the PDP before the 2023 election and emerged governorship candidate in Lagos.
The former PDP governorship candidate later lost to Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the APC, who got re-elected
Recently, Jandor dumped the PDP after he accused some leaders of the party of sabotaging him.
“We were waiting to see if the party at the national level governed by the constitution of the party would look into the provisions of that constitution and say that for engaging in anti-party activities openly, this is the sanction.
“We waited patiently for two years to see whether that would happen, instead of that, the same person was appointed Vice Chairman, Disciplinary Committee by the national,” he said.
Jandor, however, said he would consider joining any of the available parties to realise his 2027 governorship dream.
Speaking on his 2027 governorship ambition, he said, “We have chosen this path; we are not deviating. It is only God that can determine who and when. This is the path that we have chosen.”
Jandor said he has not met with Tinubu since he left the APC in 2022.
