2023: I’ll End Godfatherism In Lagos – Jandor

Abdul-Azeez Adediran aka Jandor, the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Lagos State, said if elected as governor in 2023, he would check the excesses of transport unions, motor park touts and end godfatherism in the state.

Adediran stated this while speaking on Sunday evening at the formal presentation of Umo Eno, the PDP governorship candidate in Akwa Ibom State, to its people residing in Lagos State. The event was held at the Nigerian Air Force Base, Kofo Abayomi Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Adediran said that his administration would provide opportunity for peaceful co-existence between indigenes and non-indigenes in the state.

He added that efforts would be made to ensure that all residents of the state continue to live in peace and harmony under his government.

Adediran, the Lead Visioner of Lagos-4-Lagos Movement, added that he would be the 16th Governor of Lagos State and the first independent Governor of the state.

According to him, “We will provide a new leadership in Lagos State. We will check the excesses of motor park touts as well as Iyaloja and Babaloja in the state.

“Anyone that closes any market in the state would be sent to prison. I am not going to have any godfather.

“We will ensure that any money collected as revenue in Lagos State is spent for the people of the state as against what is currently obtainable in the state. Time has come to liberate the people of the state.”

Adediran promised non-Yoruba residents in the state that they will continue to live in peace and harmony under his government and that their contributions to the economy of the state would be appreciated under his government.

While promising to build on the success story of Obong Emmanuel, he said the election is a referendum on the performances of the outgoing Governor.

“The Government of Obong Udom Emmanuel has done so many projects in Akwa Ibom State such as good roads, street lights, walkways, fountains, dualised roads and others, and he has made us proud.

“When the standard bearer of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar came to flag off his campaign in Akwa Ibom, he said that Nigeria wants to be like the state.

“The governor is building the fourth longest bridge in Nigeria. He has opened Akwa Ibom by air, land and sea.
