Seye O’Dairo, campaign director-general of the Peoples Democratic Party gubernatorial candidate, Abdul-Azeez ‘Jandor’ Adediran, has decamped from the party on election eve.

In a letter addressed to Mr Adediran on Wednesday, the PDP former campaign director-general appreciated the gubernatorial candidate for giving him the opportunity to coordinate his campaign.

“Please accept this as my formal resignation letter as the Director General of The Jandor for Governor Campaign Council.

“I have diligently worked tirelessly day and night since the inauguration of the campaign council.

“l appreciate the time and opportunity to have worked with you and the entire campaign team but have to formerly take my leave now and I hope this decision meets you well,” he said.

Several chieftains of PDP in Lagos have weighed their support for Mr Adediran and his running mate, Funke Akindele, as the election is set to hold tomorrow.
