A former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Lagos State, Abdul-Azeez Adediran aka Jandor has explained why the party has been playing second fiddle to the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state.
Adediran spoke with journalists after he cast his vote in Saturday’s local council election at Polling Unit 001, Ward D, Irewe, a riverine community in the Ojo area of the state.
He said the PDP would continue to lose elections in the state because of its weak grassroots structure.
Adediran, who returned to the APC this year. stressed that for the PDP to win the state and displace the ruling party, it must work very hard at the grassroots.
“While in the PDP we came up with fresh ideas, and we did our best, but could not make headway because PDP as a party is rarely known at the grassroots,” he said.
“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.”
