Jandor issues ‘red card’ to dissatisfied PDP leaders
Abdulaziz Adediran, a 2023 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State, has warned disgruntled leaders to quit the party, if they so wish.
Adediran had failed to unseat incumbent Governor Babatunde Sanwo-Olu at the ballot. His resort to the court equally failed to confer him a victory.
Adediran, while addressing party faithful, reportedly asserted himself as the major party leader in the state.
He said, “As far as Jandor is concerned, by the constitution of our party and that of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as the candidate of the party as at today in Lagos State, I am the leader.
“I am saying this with due respect to all other faithful leaders that I met in PDP.
“They should know this is the constitutional matter, I do not have control over it except I choose to leave tomorrow, and I am not going anywhere. This is my party.
“For every party member, who is looking for a true leader that is selfless, a leader you can beat your chest over, I am ready to provide leadership for all of you, irrespective of the tendencies you belong to.
“For those who have declared for Labour Party, they should stay there, for those who have gone to APC, they should enjoy it. Those of us that remain, let us know ourselves.
