2023: Serious Battle Looms As Jandor Reveals His Plan For Tinubu In Lagos

2023: Serious Battle Looms As Jandor Reveals His Plan For Tinubu In Lagos

Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Lagos State for 2023, has vowed to end a 24-year monopoly held by a former governor of the state, Bola Tinubu.

“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,” Jandor said on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Thursday.

The PDP governorship candidate in Lagos also accused Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate for 2023, of removing “performing governors” in the state.

Jandor claimed that while former governor Babatunde Fashola survived a plot to depose him in 2011 and returned for a second term, his successor, Akinwunmi Ambode, could not survive a plot to depose him after only one term in 2019.

If elected in the upcoming elections, he has promised to decentralize development across the state’s 20 local government areas.

“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 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,” he said.

Jandor decried Tinubu’s “hegemony and monopoly of the state” as governor of Lagos following Nigeria’s return to democracy from 1999 to 2007.

“The problem is this monopoly that we need to break. If we have a governor that is independent, we won’t have this problem and that is what we represent,” he said.

The PDP governorship candidate slammed the incumbent governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for allegedly failing to use state resources to improve the education, health, and transportation sectors.

“A government with these resources and the statistics still not speaking to the resources shows failure and the reason is not farfetched; there is a monopoly that we need to break and allow fresh ideas and new thinking. Until we do this, we will continue to have the same report and this cosmetic of people saying they are working,” he said.

Jandor, the leader of the Lagos4Lagos movement within the APC in Lagos, left the ruling party with his followers in December 2021 and was welcomed into the PDP by former Senate President, Bukola Saraki. He would later be elected governor of the state on the PDP ticket.
