The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Lagos State, Abdulazeez Olajide Adediran well known as Jandor, has said he was not surprised that Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State endorsed his Lagos State counterpart, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for second term.
Jandor stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

He added that he was not happy with the statement the PDP in Lagos issued in response to Wike, saying, “They should not behave like him (Wike).”
He said Wike did not support him during the PDP governorship in the state.
Jandor said, “First of all; that should surprise anyone, but in my own case, I am not surprised because it’s Governor Wike. I saw the statement issued by my party and I feel that we shouldn’t have behaved like him.
“For me, how can somebody who didn’t support me with all his might within the PDP while seeking the party ticket think he’s got the magic wand to take decision for the generality of Lagosians?
“During the primary, when I came into the party, he was one the governors that came to receive me because of the ability they’ve seen in me. I appreciated them, but I did that not with a naira of his and absolutely he supported the party in Lagos during that primary, but not me.
“I have planned everything before Governor Seyi Makinde actually introduced me to him (Wike) and during my primary he didn’t buy my form.
“He was supporting somebody else in Lagos, because he needed structure to win. I don’t have that structure. I came in with nothing. They’ve done all the structure in the PDP before my coming.”
