Governorship candidate in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State in the 2023 general elections, Dr Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran (JANDOR), has welcomed Mr Funso Doherty, the former gubernatorial candidate of the Action Democratic Congress (ADC), to the PDP, saying that the development signalled the readiness of all well-meaning Lagosians to come together to rescue the state from the grip of the clueless ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
It would be recalled that Doherty announced his defection from the ADC to the PDP on Monday.
JANDOR said this on Tuesday in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Mr Gbenga Ogunleye, a copy of which was made available to newsmen, expressing the belief that Doherty would not be the last to join the PDP for the actualization of the mission to offer a breath of fresh air in governance in the state come 2027.
According to him, many more chieftains of other political parties, including the ruling APC and key opinion leaders across the state, will declare for the PDP in the near future.
The PDP chieftain identified Doherty as one of the few technocrat-turned-politicians he admired and respected, assuring that, together with him and other well-meaning stakeholders in Lagos State politics, “we shall rescue the state in 2027 from the misruling and self-serving APC-led government.”
