PDP governorship candidate, Olajide Adediran, has called on the governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo Olu, to put finishing touches on his handover note in preparation for a defeat in 2023. 

Mr Adediran, in a statement by his media aide Gbenga Ogunleye stated that the victory recorded by the PDP in the just concluded governorship election in Osun state had clearly shown that the mediocre era in power is over. 

“I congratulate the good people of Osun state for liberating themselves from the whims and caprices of incompetent governance. This election is a testimony that the era of mediocre leadership is finally over. 

“Osun state mirrors the hardship and misrule that the people of Lagos have endeavoured for nearly four years. It shows the incompetence that turns people into beggars amid plenty, where the collective patrimony of the people is shared by Sherlocks. 

“The jury is out; Nigerians and, most significantly, Lagosians are tired of the decades of slavery. The youths are fed up with a puppet whose hands are always tied. 

“I hereby call on Mr Babajide Sanwo Olu to put finishing touches on his handover notes and prepare to leave office,” the statement said.
