2023: Lagos PDP Blasts Wike For Endorsing Sanwo-Olu

The Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos on Tuesday slammed the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike for endorsing his Lagos State counterpart, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Wike, earlier today, openly declared his supported for Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress during his visit to the state, ignoring the state’s PDP governorship candidate, Olajide Adediran, also known as Jandor.

Reacting to the PDP governor, the party stated that it will render Sanwo-Olu jobless in 2023.

The response was contained in a statement by PDP’s Publicity Secretary, Hakeem Amode, who said he would have expressed disappointment if Wike had attended any event “without his usual rant of a drowning man who will clutch at straw.”

He continued that, “I only wonder how Governor Wike, who didn’t support Jandor and at the same time couldn’t stop him from picking the party ticket in Lagos, despite his supposed might within the PDP, would apportion to himself the decision of generality of Lagosians in the forthcoming election.

“While we won’t but acknowledge Governor Wike’s developmental strides in Rivers State which have witnessed influx of other state chief executives including Sanwo-Olu for commissioning, it is worrisome that Wike will call Sanwo-Olu a performer without asking how many times he has invited anyone to Lagos for the commissioning of ordinary borehole in his almost four years in office as Governor.

“My dear Governor and leader, we promise to render Sanwo-Olu jobless and send him to the club of you former Governors next year. Only God, who has seen Jandor and Lagos PDP this far, and the generality of Lagosians, can determine his fate at the polls in 2023, not your endorsement.

“We will continue to sell our breath of fresh air agenda to Lagosians with the promise of a better tomorrow. Lagos needs a breath of fresh air!”
