The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Olajide Adediran, well known as Jandor, has said he would put an end to what he referred to as 24-year monopoly of the former Governor of the state, Bola Tinubu.
The Informant247 observes that the governorship candidate left the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC in December 2021 over what he referred to as the supremacy of Tinubu.
Adediran made this revelation while granting a television interview, “We will come in and do things differently. The problem of Lagos is that we have one head thinking for the state of Lagos for the past 24 years,”
He challenged the presidential candidate of the APC, Tinubu, for sponsoring the removal of “performing governors” in the state.
He said the former governor of the state, Babatunde Fashola was not able to be removed by Tinubu as Governor in 2011 and achieved his second bid.
He said another former Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode was not able to return to the office for second time because of the dominance of Tinubu in the state.
He said, “In our very first year in office, we will do a whole lot across Lagos. We need to decentralise development. Everybody comes to the centre for greener pastures but if you give the development where they are, they will actually stay there.”
“We will do a whole lot because we will be coming in as an independent government; the one not tied to the apron string of anybody and that will allow us to make Lagos wealth that we only hear now work for Lagos.”
