…there are indications that Sanwo-Olu wants to return for another four years.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in Lagos State, Ganiu Taofik, says the party is ready to receive Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu if indeed he wants to return to office in 2023.

Taofik made this known on Thursday.

The former PDP spokesman in Lagos said his party is a platform that gives Lagosians the best form of governance.

“Recently, we had a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Olajide Adediran aka Jandol, decamp with his group, Lagos4Lagos, into the PDP. This is because they have confidence and they have seen that the PDP is a better platform.

“Governor Sanwo-Olu probably could have done 100 per cent more than he has done if he were not to be in the APC because it is a structural thing; the PDP in Lagos has a controlling leadership for sanity, morality and service delivery but what they have in the APC is a selfish leadership. That is why Governor Sanwo-Olu cannot do more than what he is doing.

“If Governor Sanwo-Olu is checking to have a ticket to recontest, we will give him the opportunity to contest the primary election in the PDP like every other aspirant. Everybody has a level playing field in the PDP, unlike the APC where nobody can become a councillor without the leader’s support.

“The PDP has a wide umbrella to cover every politician from the House of Assembly to the House of Representative and others,” he told the PUNCH.
