The PDP in Lagos State has reacted to the endorsement of Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu for a second term by Governor, Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
Pblicity Secretary of the party, Hakeem Amode, in a statement yesterday said they will render Sanwo-Olu jobless in 2023 despite Wike’s endorsement.
He also said that they were not surprised as Wike never supported the emergence of its flagbearer in the state, and could not stop him from picking the partys ticket.
The Lagos PDP also said it would have expressed disappointment if Wike had attended any event “without his usual rant of a drowning man who will clutch at straw.”
Part of the statement reads,
I only wonder how Governor Wike, who didn’t support Jandor and at the same time couldn’t stop him from picking the party ticket in Lagos, despite his supposed might within the PDP, would apportion to himself the decision of generality of Lagosians in the forthcoming election.
While we won’t but acknowledge Governor Wike’s developmental strides in Rivers State which have witnessed influx of other state chief executives including Sanwo-Olu for commissioning, it is worrisome that Wike will call Sanwo-Olu a performer without asking how many times he has invited anyone to Lagos for the commissioning of ordinary borehole in his almost four years in office as Governor.
My dear Governor and leader, we promise to render Sanwo-Olu jobless and send him to the club of you former Governors next year. Only God, who has seen Jandor and Lagos PDP this far, and the generality of Lagosians, can determine his fate at the polls in 2023, not your endorsement.
