Lagos PDP guber candidate to kick off campaign Wednesday

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Lagos State, Dr Abdul-Azzez Adediran, also known as Jandor, will kick off his 2023 election campaign on Wednesday in Alimosho Local Government Area of the state, according to a statement he issued after a press conference on Sunday.

Jandor who was flanked by his running mate, actress Funke Akindele, popularly known as Jennifer and other party chieftains, said he and his team would tour all the 245 wards in the state during the campaign window.

“We will start our governorship campaign on Wednesday, October 19, in Alimosho, and we will be touring the 245 wards in Lagos. The people should see their governor, not the one that is presented to them on the television screen,” he said.

While taking a swipe at the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration in the state, Jandor said the recent 30-year Lagos Development Plan published by the government was not different from the previous development plan prepared 10 years ago.

“What they have in their new 30-year plan ((2022-2052) is to make Lagos a mega city, which was what they had in the plan in the last 10 years.

“But what did they achieve in the last 10 years?” he asked.
