The Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State, Dr. Olajide Adediran, popularly called Jandor has berated the alleged order by Lagos State Government to shut down all major markets in the state for the mega rally by the All Progressives Congress, APC Presidential Campaign scheduled today, Saturday, November 26, 2022 at Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere area of the state.
Adediran, while condemning the act, described it as a ploy to force the traders in all the markets to attend their planned campaign rally for the APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu.
Jandor, in a statement through Head, Media and Communications, Campaign Organization, Gbenga Ogunleye, noted that leaders of the major markets in the state had earlier cried out following the directive of the state government to shut the markets.
Jandor alleged that marketers’ associations leaders decried the threat issued by some agents of the state government and the MC Oluomo-led Lagos State Parks and Garages Management Committee to victimize any trader who fails to attend the planned rally.
JANDOR described the said action of the state government as “insensitive, callous, barbaric, and criminal.”
