A leader of a formidable group within All Progressives Congress, APC, Lagos chapter and lead visioner of Lagos4Lagos Movement, Olajide Adediran, popularly called, “Jandor” has said the time is up for any form of godfatherism in Lagos politics.
He, however, expressed his optimism of being declared winner of the governorship poll and be sworn in as the next governor of the state in 2023 at Tafawa Balewa Square, TBS, Lagos.
Adediran, made the remarks while addressing newsmen at the Head Office of the group at Adeniji-Jones, Ikeja, on the update of the last concluded APC ward Congresses and inauguration of Appeal Committee to hear all petitions concerning ward congresses.
According to Jandor, the numerical strength of the Lagos4Lagos movement in the APC in the state is intimidating and overwhelming than the present structure which has lost its popularity and value among the majority of the people.
Reacting to what he called “impunity” of usual imposition of candidates on the majority by a minority, on the pretext of “baba so pe”,(father says) within the party, Jandor, affirmed, “this will mark the end of godfatherism in Lagos politics, particularly, in APC. The game is definitely up, I assure you.”
He continued: “Quote me, I will be sworn-in as the next governor of Lagos State in 2023 at Tafawa Balewa Square, by His grace and votes by our overwhelming supporters across the state. We have all it takes to defeat them in any contest. “
Giving an assessment of the group after its presentation to the appeal committee in Lagos on Thursday, he said based on the report received about the comportment and overwhelming evidence presented before the panel, “it’s expected that they will do the needful and correct the injustices that have persisted for long.”
Jandor, however, noted that the outgoing Tunde Balogun led Caretaker Committee has nothing to show for it, compare to Lagos4Lagos which conducted valid congresses according to the tenets and constitution of the party and have all his people at the 245 wards across the state.
