Abdulazeez Olajide Adediran, also referred to as Jandor, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) nominee for governor of Lagos State in the 2023 election, declared he did not ban Chief Bode George from the organisation.
In an interview on television on Tuesday, he said as much.
In his words, “I did not expel them because I have no power to do so; I would rather say they expelled themselves when they declared for another party during the 2023 electioneering process. There is evidence on national TV both for the presidential and gubernatorial elections.

“When a supposed leader of a political party goes on national TV to say, ‘Don’t vote for the candidate of my party, irrespective of what it is, it shows that the leader has gone to the other party.
“What we’re saying is that because you’ve declared openly, you have no say in this party,” he added.
Recall that Jandor said in a State of the Nation speech that party leaders who backed a different candidate in the most recent presidential and gubernatorial elections were no longer party members.
Also keep in mind that Jandor finished third in the race for governor, which was won by Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, the current governor. In his attempts to be proclaimed the election victor, he also lost cases before the Tribunal, Appeal Court, and Supreme Court on the grounds that the governor had submitted a forged secondary school diploma.

According to Jandor, the PDP and its candidates’ experience in the 2023 election was no different from previous instances in which certain party officials betrayed the party by conspiring against its candidates.
