Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Abdul-Azeez Adediran otherwise known as Jandor has described party chieftain, Chief Bode Goerge as a square peg in a round hole in the party’s quest to retake Lagos from APC, iwitnesslive.com can report.
Speaking on AriseTV monitored by iwitnesslive.com on Wednesday, Jandor accused Bode Goerge of backing Labour Party candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour’s bid to become Lagos State governor, adding that Chief George encouraged Gbadebo to defect to Labour Party after he (Jandor) failed to heed his advice.
“When we moved to the PDP, I went straight to Chief Bode George’s house, there are different tendencies within the PDP, we have Deji Doherty, we have Dr. Ogunkelu, we went into Bode George’s house even though the house has no structure that can even make you become governor, but I went there through Chief Olusegun Obasanjo,” he said.
“I know he has always been the problem and if you’re able to address the man that has always been the problem, the problem is half solved, because they work hand in hand with the principalities in APC”. “It was two weeks after I got in that Gbadebo decided to run for governor in the same house
“Some of us looked at it and approached Chief (Bode George) that this boy that you told us is your friend’s son and you’re his godfather so to speak, why will two of us come out from the same house, we are going to be sharing the little votes in this how, he said no, don’t worry forget it, he dismissed it.
“Immediately I won the PDP primary ticket, the same Chief Bode George came to sell Gbadebo to me to pick him as my running mate and I was like, I can’t fight a godfather where I was coming from and I am here babysitting another godfather, it shows we are not standing for anything. So, I refused”, he said.
“That’s why you’ll see him eulogizing the other guy (Gbadebo) at the expense of the candidate of his party. It is what it is because they asked him to move to Labour thereafter. Again, I’ve been on this campaign and you’ve been reporting attacks on Jandor, a PDP candidate, and Chief Bode George and other leaders of the party have never for once condemned the attack. The same Bode George came out a few days ago saying some people want to kill Gbadebo.” he said
