Abdulazeez Adediran, also known as Jandor, Lagos PDP governorship candidate in the March 18 election, has described Nigerian workers’ sacrifices over the years as incredible.

Mr Adediran made this remark in a congratulatory message to workers signed by Gbenga Ogunleye, the spokesperson for JANDOR4Governor Campaign Organisation.

While felicitating the Lagos State and Nigerian workers generally on the Workers’ Day celebration, the PDP chieftain commended them for keeping hope alive in the country.

“I cannot but acknowledge and commend the incredible sacrifices and contributions of the workers to enhance the realisation of the desired growth and development of the state.

“The state’s economy would have been in a more dire state without the patriotic and unwavering commitment and dedication to duty of the workers,” he said.

Mr Adediran urged all workers to celebrate with hope, knowing that they had an advocate in him.

“Our shared desire of birthing a government that will truly prioritise the interest of the workers is still much on course,” he said.
