Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly called Jandor, has said that he will be the 16th governor of Lagos State, as well as the first independent governor of the State.
He stated this at the formal presentation of the PDP governorship candidate in Akwa-Ibom State, Umo Eno, in Lagos yesterday at the Nigerian Air Force Conference Centre, Victoria Island where Jandor noted that Eno would build on the achievements of Governor, Udom Emmanuel of Akwa-Ibom State
Jandor reiterated the fact that he would be the first independent governor of the State, stressing that he doesnt have a godfather to take instructions from before doing anything for Lagosians.
We will provide new leadership in Lagos State. We will check the excesses of motor touts as well as Iyaloja and Babaloja in the State. Anyone that closes any market in the state would be sent to prison. I am not going to have any godfather. We will ensure that revenue collected in Lagos State is spent on the people of the State as against what is currently obtainable, he said.
He promised non-Yoruba residents in the State that they will continue to live in peace under his government and that their contributions to the economy of the state would be appreciated.
