Abdul-Azeez Adediran, governorship candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos, says he is not a mole for the All Progressives
Congress (APC).
Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, was reacting to rumours
that he was planted in the PDP by the ruling party and that he is an ally of
Bola Tinubu, APC presidential candidate.
In an interview with NAN, Adediran said it would be
illogical for him to be APC’s mole and “be giving them headaches”.
Adediran said though he was a member of the APC until
January 2022, he never had a one-on-one meeting with Tinubu.
He added that he is “strongly determined” to end APC’s reign
in the state.
“It might be difficult for anybody to believe that I have
never had a one-on-one meeting with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,” he said.
“I have not set my feet on his Bourdillon house. Yes, I was
coming from APC, but I have never been elected nor appointed. I have only been
a consultant on that corridor.”
On the impacts of the crisis rocking the PDP at the national
level, Adediran said the party has no problem that could affect its fortune in
the 2023 elections.
He said the G5 PDP governors are still major stakeholders in
the party.
“For those who can take time to do a thorough diagnosis of
the situation that is happening within the PDP, we know that PDP has no problem
either at the national level or at the state level,” he said.
“None of the aggrieved governors is telling party members in
their respective states to do otherwise on election day. They are major
stakeholders in PDP business in their respective states.”
Adediran also dismissed reports that his candidacy was
opposed by Bode George, a former PDP national deputy chairman.
“Chief Bode George never opposed my candidacy. He is my
leader, he wants to see PDP win Lagos,” he added.
“I can assure you, he is on this 100 percent and we are
together. We don’t have any issue. As a national leader.”
