Lagos governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Abdul-Azeez Adediran, otherwise called Jandor, has said that PDP has no official alliance with any political party and he is not stepping down for any candidate.
There had been rumour making the rounds that Jandor was considering going into alliance with candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour ahead the Saturday elections in the state.
Addressing newsmen at his Campaign Office, in Ikeja, on Thursday, Jandor said he was in the race to win and bring in a breath of fresh air.

He urged residents to support his ambition, haven presented himself against all odds to challenge the status quo in the state.
Said he, “We are here stating that all the rumours that are out there purportedly being sold by some people in some quarters is nothing but false.
“Lagos PDP is not in alliance with any political party. As the candidate of the party, I have not stepped down for anybody, we are not stepping down for anybody, and we are not going to step down for anybody.
“There has not been any formal meeting between Lagos PDP and any political party as such, to say that we are on a round- table discussing alliance,” he said.
Jandor maintained that no candidate, including the incumbent Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, had ever worked like he had had done in the electioneering, going to meet people in various communities across the 245 wards in the state.
He continued, “We have traversed everywhere in the state and we have been able to sell our candidacy which is a radical departure from the stereotyped norm to everybody in Lagos.
“What we need Lagos residents to do in this coming election is to take a critical look at all of us running for this office and make their choice in a free and fair election,” he said.
Adediran, however, noted that the PDP did not have any issue going into any alliance but only concerned about putting the best foot forward, which he said some leaders truncated.
