Lagos has not worked for all – Governorship aspirant

A governorship aspirant for Lagos State in the 2023 general elections, Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, on Tuesday said his ambition was to change the narrative about Lagos politics.

He said the time has come to stop the trend in Lagos politics where people who never dreamt of becoming governor or are not prepared to govern was imposed on the people.

Unveiling his ‘Lagos4Lagos project’ to newsmen in Lagos, Adediran, a former journalist, said he is damning the consequences by showing interest in the governorship election.

The aspirant who is a member of the ruling APC and an ally of former Governor and Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola however declared that his ambition was not being sponsored by Fashola.

He disclosed that his team has set up three major groups to drive the Lagos4Lagos project including Ibile Eko, Team Jandor and Eko United.

He explained that the Ibile Eko (Indigenous Lagosians) is being deployed to mobilize indigenes of the state while the Eko United is targeting the elite.

“Lagos4Lagos mantra is a mantra where everybody’s expression is needed. Lagos has not worked for Lagos, it has only worked for a few people, and we are hitting the streets to ensure Lagos that works for all” he said.
