The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, does not have a candidate that can win an election in Lagos state, according to Ayodele Fayose, a former governor of Ekiti state.
This claim was made by Fayose during a Thursday interview with Arise TV.
He said;
You’re talking about candidate in Lagos, do you have a candidate in Lagos. Those people are doing theartre now. Even when Obi took over Lagos, he got 60, 000 or 70, 000 votes. Somebody, who was photographer to former governor of Lagos state, and he even confirmed that he was his photographer.
The governorship candidate of the PDP, Abdul-Azeez Adediran aka Jandor scored 62,449 votes, coming distant third in the March 18th governorship election in Lagos.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the current governor of the state, received 762,134 votes overall to defeat Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party, who received 312,329 votes.
Fayose, meanwhile, recently swore that he would never join the All Progressives Congress, the party in power.
The former governor of Ekiti had said;
Many people in Nigeria have been confronted with what they have said at different times and they either recant or say something new. I stand here to tell you that I will never be a member of the APC. I am not in politics for what it is anymore. God has given me a fair opportunity to lead Ekiti two times and defeated two incumbents.
He said Nigeria was no longer a country to be taken for granted. He cited how the youths who were “taken for granted,” went for the leaders and sacked them, saying it was a further warning.
