Oladejo claimed that Nigeria stopped taking the opposition platform seriously due to its poor leadership and internal crisis.
The Lagos APC spokesman wondered how a party like PDP which has been plunged into numerous crises since its presidential primary "lay any claim to integrity, hope, and vision".
Lagos remains an APC state
Even more, Oladejo said he is not certain that Ayu has been able to clear the corruption allegations against him.
In a feat of boast, he said of the APC in the state and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu:
"Lagos state remains an impenetrable fortress for PDP with its more than two decades of electoral abysmal performance.
"The incumbent governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has earned his place of pride and preference by well-meaning Lagosians to consolidate on the landmark achievements of the first term in the next tenure.
"PDP at whatever level does not constitute a threat to our retention of power in Lagos state and at the center.
"Nigeria will certainly not go back to the years of the locust.
"In any electoral process, talk is cheap but the real language of communication is the PVC. The PDP has no reason to be hopeful."
Tinubu, Sanwo-Olu suffer setback as 1,000 APC members defect to PDP in Lagos
About 1,000 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Lagos Mainland local government area of Lagos state had defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
A prominent Lagos politician Nurudeen Dauda led the defectors to the PDP.
The defectors cited the lack of internal democracy in the APC and the lack of transparency in the state as part of the reasons for dumping the party.
