Lagos State Chapter of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has
debunked claims by the Labour Party, LP, Governorship candidate, Gbadebo
Rhodes-Vivour that he is talking with “the real owners of PDP structure” in
Lagos State for possible alliance towards the March 11 gubernatorial poll.
The party, through Publicity Secretary and Chairman, Media
and Publicity Team for JandorFunke 2023 Campaign Council, Hakeem Amode,
debunked the claim in a statement on Monday.
The rebuttal followed a recent statement credited to
Rhodes-Vivour and a “purported message broadcasted on a Twitter handle
@zuccinille” who claimed that Jandor would collapse his structure to work for a
certain political party.
The statement read in part: “The claim as credited to the
Labour Party Candidate came as disrespect to PDP, as no one can lay claims to
the ownership structure of the PDP. PDP is a proper Democratic Party and it’s
only the State Executive of the party as recognised by the National Body can be
described as the custodian of the PDP under the leadership of the party’s
Governorship Candidate Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran (Jandor).
“So whoever Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour is talking to is only
representing themselves and not Lagos PDP, as no official conversation across
the two-party lines at the moment, and Jandor is NOT planning to step down for
any candidate.
“Jandor as a candidate in this election achieved making the
Jandor brand a household name in Lagos on his own merit due to his immense hard
work, and he’s not riding on any sudden waves.
“We are using this opportunity to urge our teeming
supporters and good people of Lagos that the decision of the people to ensure
that Lagos breaks free will be respected and defended in the coming
gubernatorial election of March 11.
“The efforts to liberate Lagos from the present oligarchy
government of APC cannot be undermined by people who do not see such a great
battle that must be won and cannot be subjected to social media cruise.”
