The Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last election, Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has announced his departure from the party
Jandor made the announcement on Monday during a press briefing at Liberty Place in Ikeja, Lagos.
Explaining his decision, he cited widespread indiscipline and anti-party activities within the PDP, stating that such practices had become the norm in the party.
The former governorship candidate, who was accompanied by a large group of supporters, attributed his exit to the actions of certain PDP leaders, including former Deputy National Chairman Chief Olabode George, whom he accused of working against the party during the 2023 elections.
He said; “I am here before you today with a heavy heart but a clear conscience. We have dedicated ourselves to the ideals of democracy, good governance and a pursuit of a better Lagos.
“However, it has been found evident that the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, both at the national and state levels, has failed to uphold these principles. The persistent anti-party activities, internal sabotage and lack of discipline have led me and my supporters to leave.
“We will consult widely with everybody and then take the decision to collapse our structure to another platform. What is majority on the ground now is that we have left the Peoples Democratic Party,”
