The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lashed out at the gubernatorial candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Olajide Adediran aka Jandor for desiring the party chairman’s vote in the coming election.

Jandor was reported to have purportedly expressed his belief in winning APC Chairman Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi to his side in the coming election, a thought the party described as a daylight hallucination.

APC’s remark was contained in a press statement signed by its spokesperson Seye Oladejo on Monday in a quip reaction to Jandor’s claim.

The statement reads, “Our attention has been drawn to the publication in a national daily where the PDP governorship candidate , Jide Adediran aka Jandor characteristically expressed the jaundiced view that the APC state chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi will vote for him.

“Nothing can be farther from from a day-light hallucination on the part of a young man who ordinarily will be expected to have the staying power to stand the rigor of political campaigns.
It might interest him to know that Pastor Ojelabi has a long history and association with the progressive clan. It was on this platform that he served as the local government chairman of Ojo, member House of Representatives and the Honorable Commissioner for Rural Development.
In all his years of meritorious service, he was not known to waver or engage in anti-party activities.

“It amounts to sheer foolery for Jandor to expect the chairman of the ruling party to vote for him in an election he’s destined to lose. This is indeed a joke taken too far.
No real Awori betrays on the issue of principle and commitment to a lofty goal.

“Aworis have always belonged to the Progressives right from the days of many distinguished leaders former Deputy Governor Alhaji Jafojo , Chief Badmus, Senator Abayomi Durosinmi, Hon. Ege, Hon Toyin Suarau,Dr. Kayode Opeifa,Deputy Governors Orelop Adefulire , Sarah Sosan,and others too numerous to mentione. A real Awori person does not jump from one political party to another because they know their source and we will never derail…..
We empathize with Jandor’s so many unforced errors as a result of pressure and omnious signs of defeat.
He can as well safe himself from further self-inflicted misery by throwing in the towel before he does irreparable damage to his psyche.”
