Why I Couldn’t Deliver Lagos For Atiku During Presidential Election- Jandor Opens Up 

Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party in Lagos Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran popularly known as Jandor has disclosed the reason for the loss suffered by the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar in Lagos during the just concluded presidential election.

Atiku, who came second in the election with over 6 million votes came third in Lagos state despite having a popular governorship candidate and party chieftains in the State.

The reason for his loss however was revealed on Wednesday by the party’s Guber candidate, Adediran while featuring on the Wednesday edition of Arise TV Morning Show.

Adediran, who said he has taken his time to analyze the trend revealed that one of the prominent factors that played out during the election was religion and ethnicity.

According to him, the candidate of the ruling All Progressive Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who won the election is from Lagos and many Lagosians preferred to vote for him because they see him as one of their own.

His word: “A lot of people don’t really understand this game, that’s why you see the people that are jumping about thinking they have a wave that they can ride on. They did a whole lot of mistakes and they will get the results in this election. I have taken my time to analyze this.

“First, that election was on religion, ethnicity and the likes. And in Lagos, we have a supposed Lagosian who also is on the ballot. If you look at the election you will see that the guy won in all indigenous Local Governments in Lagos, Epe, Badagry, and Ikorodu. That’s because they decided to say he is our own; let’s do that.

“If you look at it, the Igbo-dominated communities in Lagos from Ojo, Amuwo, Ajoromi, Oshodi Isolo, Peter Obi won.

If you look at where you have more elites, Koshofe, part of Alimosho, elites came out to say we are giving this guy the votes, it’s not about the party.”
