The Lagos State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) refuted claims that party candidate for the Lagos State gubernatorial polls, Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran also known as Jandor, will step down for Labour Party candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.
Hakeem Amode, Lagos PDP Publicity Secretary, made this known on Monday stating the party wasn’t officially in any discussion with Labour Party about a possible alliance ahead of Saturday, March 11 gubernatorial and House of Assembly elections.
Amode said in a statement, “PDP is a proper democratic party and it is only the State Executive of the party as recognized by the National body that can be described as the custodian of the PDP under the leadership of the party’s Governorship Candidate Dr Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran.

“So, whoever Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour is talking to are only representing themselves and not Lagos PDP as there is no official conversation between the two parties at the moment.
He stated that reports claiming Jandor will withdraw his ambition to form an alliance with LP was false.
“Jandor is not planning to step down for any candidate.”
“We are using this opportunity to urge our teeming supporters and good people of Lagos that the decision of the people to ensure that Lagos breaks free will be respected and defended in the coming gubernatorial election of March 11.
