Ahead of the governorship election, the standard bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, has continued to gain support among the non-indigenes in the state.
The Ohaneze Ndigbo, Alimosho branch is the latest group to back his governorship ambition.
The group said Adediran, popularly known as Jandor is the only credible candidate for the coveted office.
According to the group, Jandor is the only candidate who would protect the interest of the South Easterners as the Governor of the state.
The event was attended by members of the group from Alimosho Local Government and five Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the area. It said the government of Jandor would be for everybody, adding that it was time to allow the youths to take over governance in the country.
“I want you all to go out during the Governorship Election and vote for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Jandor so that he can properly fix the state unlike what we are experiencing now.
“His government would be for everybody, he would not discriminate against our people. I had a meeting with him few days ago and I was impressed with what we discussed. We should not allow this opportunity to slip us by.
“Jandor is a good man, he knows what to do at the right time. He is a successful businessman and he knows how to manage people. He would do his best for the state and I believe that we should give him a chance,” one of the leaders said.
On his part, the Chairman of Alimosho Branch of Motor Dealers Association and a member of the group, Mr. Okoli Donatus Osita, said the Igbos have nothing to fear during the election, and urged them not to fell intimidated by any group.
Osita stated that the Igbos know who to vote for and that Jandor is the right person for the state, but that Ohaneze Ndigbo was not actually formed for politics.
“We know how politics is and we know Jandor. Many political parties are eyeing our support, but we prefer Jandor of the PDP.
“We have seen politicians with empty promises, but we want to give Jandor a chance, we will support him and allow a young man like him to rule Lagos,” he said.
