Lagos guber race: Our word is our bond – Jandor, Akindele

Dr. Abdul-Azeez Adediran (Jandor), a candidate for the Lagos PDP governorship, and Ms. Funke Akindele, his running mate, have said they are obligated by their commitments and won’t disappoint the people of the state if elected.

Adediran, represented by Akindele, made the commitment at a meeting with businesspeople and women from four important markets in the Ajeromi Ifelodun Local Government Area of Lagos state.

Executives from the local markets for fire extinguishers and equipment, Agric Building Materials, Coker Allied, and Odunade Building Materials were present.

Adediran pledged to uphold the interests of all, especially business communities, by fostering an environment that is conducive to business success and encouraging ease of doing business.

He urged them to support PDP candidates by casting a large number of votes, just like they did on February 25 in the Presidential election.

“My principal, Dr Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran- Jandor, has invested eight good years of structure into this. He knows his onions, he knows what it takes to be a Governor, and he has listening ears.

“You all left your towns for Lagos to do business, you add to the revenues by paying your taxes, and you all are very important without you there is no Lagos.

“Lagos is for Lagos, we deserve the best in Lagos.

“They say Lagos is rich but we are only rich on paper, take a look at our roads. We need to correct all the wrongs and make Lagos wealth work for all rather than selected few.

“Hold us by our words, we will not disappoint you and you will not be put to shame, let us not sell our votes,” Adediran said.

He stated that if elected, he would create a plan to improve the lives of women and youth.

“We are coming in to protect the women, to offer soft loans to our mothers in the markets.

“To give them succour because many find it hard to pay back the loans taken from financial institutions and other high interest rates charging loan facilities,” he added.

Adediran urged the traders not to give up or be afraid to vote, and urged them to use their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).

He added: “I want to appeal to you, I believe in your strength and in your numbers. We have faith in it. We are all one, I am passionate about impacting many people.

“I love oneness, happiness and unity, I love to give back to people and stand by the truth and that is what Jandor represents.

“We are not out to destroy anybody, we are not tarnishing anybody’s image. We playing politics the proper way. You are very important and we are here to beg and ask you to please support PDP.

“Umbrella is our symbol, I urge you to vote for us and we will not put you to shame. I am accessible, I will drop my phone numbers you will be able to reach us, we know how important you are and that is why I am here today.”

He urged the traders to protect their votes on Saturday, saying “let us wait to count our votes let us wait for them to upload it. INEC has promised that BVAS (Bimodal Voter Accreditation System) will not mess us up again.”

Mr Lukmon Odumosu, the PDP candidate for the Ajeromi-Ifelodun Constituency I seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly, also spoke, assuaging fears of all threats and intimidation.

Chief Collins Okorie, President of Odunade Building Materials Association, responded by commending the PDP candidates’ determination to right the wrongs.

Okorie promised that the association would inform members about the importance of voting for the party.
