The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran better known as Jandor has fired back at his former boss, Babatunde Fashola following the latter’s comment about his governorship ambition.
On Thursday, February 9, 2023, Fashola while speaking at an event in Lagos described Jandor as a cameraman who needs to join the state’s leadership school to learn and understand governance.
Jandor was a member of Fashola’s media team when he governed the state for eight years, but the former governor believes the experience of the PDP governorship candidate as a cameraman is not enough to put him through governance.
“I did that job for eight years and part of what helped me was that I was Chief of Staff with the governor, I saw it up close but even then, it wasn’t enough. So just following a governor, being a cameraman and then watching me for eight years, you think you’ll now be a governor? You’re not ready”, Fashola had said.
Reacting to this in a series of tweets, Jandor said he has never been a cameraman.
He said the “disparaging statements” by the Minister of Works and Housing reminded him of the camera Fashola “magically found at Lekki toll gate, the scene of the Endsars massacre”.
