“It is a fact that the cost of living in Lagos is very high with revenue that does not reflect in the development of Lagos State.”
The parties gave reason for backing Jandor
He said that the decision for adopting Adediran was based on his determination to rectify and eradicate the hardship being inflicted on Lagos residents
He alleged that the unchecked excesses of thugs at motor parks in the state had added to the plights and suffering of the residents, which the CPP believed Adediran would curb if supported and elected.
Badmus said that the endorsement was also based on their belief that Adediran would revive dilapidated infrastructure and commence a new one in the state if elected.
He said:
“This is the time PDP is taking over, APC is no longer the choice of Lagos residents.
“So today, the entire 30 political parties comprises both registered and de-registered, and as such, direct all our followers to begin the massive campaign for the PDP in Lagos State.”
