Lagos: How Atiku Will Help Me Defeat Sanwo-Olu – Jandor

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Lagos State, Abdulazeez Olajide Adediran popularly known as Jandor has expressed optimism about winning the forthcoming election.

While speaking yesterday in the Ikorodu part of the state during a campaign visit, Jandor expressed confidence in defeating the incumbent Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Explaining one of his strategies, Jandor said a victory for the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar would make it easier for him to win the governorship polls.

He said a vote for Atiku and the PDP is a vote for merit.

The governorship candidate promised to run an all-inclusive government that will take the interest of the masses as a priority if he is elected by the people of Lagos State.

We Didn’t Endorse Atiku

The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has come out to describe as false and mischievous the reports circulating in some online platforms that the five aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors also known the G5 have endorsed the party’s flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar.

Naija News reports that the governor debunked such reports making rounds saying he and his counterparts in the G-5 have never resolved to work with Atiku.

Ortom, in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity Terver Akase, on Tuesday, said the report is fake and should be disregarded by the public.

According to him, the false and mischievous report is targeted at embarrassing the G5 Governors who have chosen the path of justice, fairness and equity.

Ortom submitted during his meeting on Monday with the state caucus of the PDP, he was clear that the national leadership of the party had failed to utilise its internal conflict resolution mechanism, which has led to the crisis rocking the party.

His reaction follows a report circulating in some online platforms about how the G5 governors have resolved to stick to the PDP and support Atiku to win next month’s election.
