Abdul-Azeez Adediran (Jandor), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Lagos State, on Monday, described reports that he stepped down for Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party, as false.
Jandor’s comments were contained in a statement sent to THE PUBLISHER NIGERIA by Hakeem Amode, the Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Lagos State.
The rebuttal followed a recent statement credited to Rhodes-Vivour and a “purported message broadcasted on a Twitter handle @zuccinille” who claimed that Adediran would collapse his structure to work for an unnamed political party.
“The claim as credited to the Labour Party Candidate came as disrespect to PDP, as no one can lay claims to the ownership structure of the PDP.
“PDP is a proper Democratic Party and it’s only the State Executive of the party as recognised by the National Body can be described as the custodian of the PDP under the leadership of the party’s Governorship Candidate Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran (Jandor).
“So whoever Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour is talking to is only representing themselves and not Lagos PDP, as no official conversation across the two-party lines at the moment, and Jandor is NOT planning to step down for any candidate,” the PDP’s statement partly reads.
