After a meeting over the weekend, the elders, who signed a communique on the way forward for the party after coming a distant third in the last governorship election in the state, passed a vote of confidence on Chief Olabode George as the undisputed leader of the PDP in Lagos.
The elders warned Jandor to desist from further denigrating party leaders and elders, stating that failure to do so would result in the party invoking appropriate disciplinary measures against him.
The elders who signed the communique included a former Deputy Governor, Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele; a former National Secretary of the party, Dr Charles Akintoye; retired Permanent Secretary, Dr Layi Ogunbambi; Jandor’s Campaign Director General, Dr Seye Dairo – who resigned on the eve of the election from his position – and 18 others.
In the communique, the elders recognized that Jandor is a new member of the party who may not be conversant with the culture, traditions, and provisions of the party’s constitution.
