Oladejo described PDP’s gubernatorial ticket as worthless, noting that Sanwo-Olu does not need its offer to get re-elected for a second term in office in 2023.
While acknowledging the performance of the governor in all sectors of the state, the APC spokesman declared that the platform that initially elected the governor is available for him to recontest for another term.
He advised the PDP to desist from its age-long tactics of perennial attempts to destabilize the ruling party by the deliberate promotion of falsehood, blackmail and arms-twisting strategies for political advantage.
2023: Tinubu in trouble as Fashola's 'influential boy' Jandor is set to join PDP
Meanwhile, there were indications that Jandor would officially join the PDP on Tuesday, January 11.
Jandor used to be a loyalist and influential ally of Babajide Fashola, a former Lagos governor, but was aggrieved over the conduct and results of the APC's party’s ward, local, and state congresses and as such, dumped the ruling party in 2021.
During a special ceremony at Tafawa Balewa Square, Onikan, Lagos, Jandor who used to be an APC factional leader will be received into the PDP by Governor Seyi Makinde, some top PDP senators, and members of the House of Representatives.
