PDP Patriarchs Issue Firm Warning To Gubernatorial Contender, Jandor

EKO HOT BLOG reports that some elders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have warned the party’s governorship candidate in Lagos State, Abdul-Aziz Olajide Adediran (Jandor), to desist from any form of disrespect towards the party’s former Deputy National Chairman, Chief Olabode George, whom they affirmed as the leader of the party in the state.

Jandor had allegedly taken a swipe at George, accusing him of not supporting any PDP governorship candidate since 1999. George had also supported the Labour Party candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, in the March 18 governorship election, stating that he had no regret for his action.

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.
