You ‘ve Never Supported Lagos PDP Gov’ship Candidate — Jandor Replies Bode George

The Lagos Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governorship Candidate, Dr Olajide Adediran, popularly called Jandor, has said that a former Deputy National Chairman of the party, Bode George, has never supported any Lagos PDP governorship candidate since 1999.

Jandor made the remarks in apparent reaction to George’s statement while fielding questions on national television on Tuesday, explaining why he did not support Jandor’s governorship candidacy.

George, during the interview, said he has no regret not supporting Jandor in the March 18 governorship election in Lagos state.

He said he followed the decision of a group he belongs to which was to support the best among all the candidates irrespective of political affiliation.

George said, “If you say that I supported somebody from another party, it is not me as PDP. There is a group called Omo Eko Pataki and as a bonafide Lagosian we sat down, we took each of those candidates from (Governor Babajide) Sanwo-Olu to Jandor and others and we weighed them.

“And there was a new movement going on in the country and we said look, who has the capacity? Who has an educational background? Who has the moral background to handle my state? As a PDP, the fellow who got the ticket was on another planet.

“No regrets whatsoever (not supporting Jandor). And let me tell you something, I said it publicly to our presidential candidate that if they do not honour the South-West, I won’t vote for Atiku, I did not hide it.”l

Recall that George had backed Labour Party’s Rhodes-Vivour for the Lagos governorship election. But, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of APC eventually won the election.
