Jandor said:

"Let me quickly signpost a reminder that this is the season of calumnies and the APC are expectedly under pressure to sell their unenviable records to the now very discerning electorates of Lagos.
"There is clearly a brief to all the beneficiaries of the status-quo to publicly show where their support lie."

How Fashola once admired Jandor

However, Jandor reminisced back to three years when the ex-governor saluted his prowess as a leader and a young mind primed for greatness.

The PDP gubernatorial candidate said:

"In June of 2020, an extract from BRF’s condolence message to me on the loss of my mum, in black prints, states: “your very inspiring life story…turned into a ladder for educational success, entrepreneurial acumen and visionary leadership aspirations” it is just a few weeks to elections and the story has suddenly changed."

Jandor further stated:

"While I insist that there is absolutely nothing untoward about being a cameraman, and I must apologize to hordes of cameramen out there who have made a mark for themselves in their craft and may feel smeaerd by my respected Boss's remark, I was never a cameraman."
