Hakeem Olalemi, the Lagos vice- chairman (central) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, was a mole of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the opposition party.
Adediran, the PDP governorship candidate in Lagos in the 2023 elections, announced his return to the ruling APC on Monday.
At a press briefing in Lagos, Jandor said his defection from PDP is a “reflection of his unwavering commitment to the development of Lagos”.
According to him, he left the PDP because of the inability of the national leadership of the party to instill discipline and condemn the “anti-party activities” from some party leaders in 2023.
In an interview with NAN on Monday, Olalemi said the Lagos PDP would not miss Jandor, adding that the former governorship candidate came to spy and ruin the party in the state.
“He (Adediran) is a human being and the Nigerian Constitution allows freedom of association. He is free to resign from any group or party and join any group he wants,” he said.
“We will miss his shenanigans, comedy, and cunningness. So, we will not miss anything good about him in the party because he has done a huge havoc to our party in Lagos state.
“He has come to our party to spy, and he ruined the party. We are assuring the public that we are going to pick up the party from where it is now and take it to its Eldorado come 2027 by the special grace of God.”
Olalemi blamed the party’s national leaders and some state elders for offering Jandor the PDP’s governorship ticket on the platter of gold during the 2023 elections.
