The Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) Olajide Adediran (Jandor) cold war with PDP stakeholders is not surprising, according to the Lagos state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), which made the statement on Friday.
Seye Oladejo, the party's publicity secretary, claimed that Jandor's ungovernable demeanour has further ruined the PDP's nonexistent chances in Lagos.
Jandor joined the PDP after leaving the APC in January 2022, and both the national chairman and five governors welcomed him. He won the governorship primaries and will run for governor in 2023 under the PDP banner.
However, some members of the PDP State Working Committee (SWC) had alleged that Jandor is running a one-man show given the manner he chose his running mate, Funke Akindele, a Nollywood actress without consulting with the party elders.
Reacting to the development, the APC said Jandor has ended his political career before it took off and has struck the final nail on the PDP’s coffin in Lagos.
The APC statement reads “We are neither surprised nor disappointed with the turn-out of events for Jandor”.
We have always opined that he is a fluke and a house of cards. He has proved to be ungovernable and aversed to law and order”.
“No platform is certainly big or good enough for someone with an exaggerated opinion of his importance, knowledge or influence”.
“He has further destroyed the non-existent chances of the Lagos state PDP in the coming elections. Perhaps he struck the final nail on their coffin. He probably ended his political career before it took off”.
