Former Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Lagos, Abdul-Azeez Adediran, also known as Jandor, has blamed the party’s consistent losses in the state on its weak grassroots structure.
Jandor recently defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and spoke after casting his vote in the Lagos council election on Saturday.
He voted at Polling Unit 001, Ward D, Irewe, a riverine community in the Ojo area of the state.
According to Jandor, PDP has to work hard at its grassroots level to be in a position to win in Lagos and displace the APC.

“While in the PDP, we came with fresh ideas and we did our best, but could not make headway because the PDP as a party is rarely known at the grassroots.
“APC as a party in Lagos State has, over the years, built strong grassroots structures. The party is a household name in every community.
“Based on this, people like us, with a host of followers, joined the train to build on the legacies of previous leaders rather than stay in opposition.
“As it stands, PDP does not have the grassroots stature to contend with APC in Lagos State. I salute President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for laying the foundation of the progress of the party in the state as governor,” Jandor stated.
