The PDP Governorship Candidate for Lagos State, Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran (a.k.a. Jandor), has said that he has never been to the Ikoyi home of the All Progressives Congress’ presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
He noted this while debunking the rumpour that he is a mole in the PDP.
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, he denied being planted in the party,
adding that it would be illogical for him to be APC’s mole in PDP and be giving APC ‘headaches’ in his campaigns.
Adediran said that though he was in APC for some years until January 2022, he had not had a one-on-one meeting with Tinubu, also a former Governor of the state.
The candidate said: “It might be difficult for anybody to believe that I have never had a one-on-one meeting with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
“I have not set my feet on his Bourdillon house. Yes, I was coming from APC, but I have never been elected nor appointed.
“I have only been a consultant on that corridor.”

On the implications of the crisis rocking the PDP at the national level, Adediran said that the party had no problem both at the national and state levels that could affect its fortune in the 2023 elections.
He said that the G-5 PDP govenors were still major stakeholders in the party.
Adediran said: “For those who can take time to do a thorough diagnosis of the situation that is happening within the PDP, we know that PDP has no problem either at the national level or at the state level.
“None of the aggrieved governors is telling party members in there respective states to do otherwise on election day.
“They are major stakeholders in PDP business in their respective states.”
