The Lagos State Peoples Democratic Party governorship
candidate, Abdul-Azeez Adediran aka Jandor, has defeated his closest rivals,
Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress and Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour
of the Labour Party, at his polling unit in Osolu Junior High School, Unit 001
ward G in Irewe, Ojo Local Government Area of the state.
Adediran polled 79 votes while Sanwo-Olu secured 66 votes.
Rhodes-Vivour, however, got just one vote.
In the House of Assembly election, PDP polled 81 votes
against 76 polled by the APC, as the Labour Party scored a single vote.
While addressing journalists after casting his vote,
Adediran expressed optimism in securing victory at the polls.
He said, “I feel there is a need for us in the state of
Lagos to stand up and see how we can put an end to a dynasty that hold us in
the jugular for over two decades and since we have started this project, to the
glory of God, we have done everything as a human being.
“We have been
consistent and we have been so focused over the years and we have been able to
make that huge statement by making sure we are on the ballot. Since October
last year, we have not stopped campaigning, so we are very optimistic. We know
we will win this election.”
Asked what he would do if he loses the election, he said,
“This election is a process, if we win we will go to the next process. If we
win again, we will go to the next process.”
Earlier, a former deputy governor of Lagos State, Sarah
Sosan, declined to speak on the chances of APC candidates after casting her
ballot at the polling unit.
When asked if she would deliver her polling unit for APC,
Sosan, an APC chieftain who shares the same polling unit with Adediran, said,
“I am not commenting on that.”
