The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Lagos, Abdul-Azeez ‘Jandor’ Adediran, says Lagosians will not regret voting him into power in 2023.

Mr Adediran and his running mate, Funke Akindele, on Wednesday flagged off a three-day campaign in Alimosho local government area, touring various wards and markets.

Addressing party supporters at the PDP secretariat in Alimosho on Friday to round off his tour of the council, Mr Adediran said that his team had prepared to run a humane government that would prioritise masses’ interests.

The PDP candidate said: “You will send us prayers and not curse when we get there. We are here to run the government of the masses.

“We are going to run a government everyone will be happy with and pray for us. You will send us prayers if you allow us to serve you.

“God has chosen that as small as I and my running mate are, we will take over the government house in Lagos state come 2023.

“God has chosen us to win this election. I know that by the power of God and your support, we shall win,” Mr Adediran said.

He said his team was prepared to create a state that would work for all residents regardless of ethnic background.

“Lagos state  must work for all residents. It  must work for the Igbos, the Hausas  and all ethnic nationalities resident in the state,” he said.

Mr Adediran urged the electorate to vote for all PDD candidates, including the  presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, for the national and state elections.
