- calls Rhodes Vivour a plague to avoid
- Funke Akindele is better suited as deputy governor because of her docility
The gubernatorial aspirant of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Olajide Adediran (Jandor) has slammed a founding member of the Lagos PDP, chief Bode George, calling him a chronic liar. The statement came out during a sit down with the crew of “Yourview” on TVC.
The gubernatorial candidate said that there was no agreement between himself and the party as alluded to by Chief Bode George. He claimed, “we never had any such agreement of who to be my running mate and the party cannot make that decision for me.” Olabode George manufactured that lie.
This claim negates the statement made on several media platforms by the PDP chieftain who said the gubernatorial candidate stepped outside the confines of the agreement reached by the party on his choice of running mate.
Earlier in the year, Bode George had called out Jandor in a news medium, culled from cable Bode George, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, says Olajide Adediran, the party’s governorship candidate in Lagos, breached an agreement on running-mate selection. Chief Bode George claimed that “he went off on his own and said his mentor said he should pick a female running mate.”
Speaking on News Central, George said Adediran, better known as Jandor, flouted the agreement to make Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour his running mate, instead of Funke Akindele. He said Adediran’s decision to pick Akindele, the actress, as running mate forced Rhodes-Vivour to join the Labour Party as its standard bearer for the Lagos governorship election.
Jandor claimed there was no agreement and called Olabode George a chronic liar. He also called Rhodes Vivour a plaque that should be avoided; thus, he avoided the choice of deputy governor. “I don’t want to be the governor that changes deputy governors, I chose a less-smart, docile Funke over Rhodes because of her investment in Lagos.”
Rhodes-Vivour, who was featured on Channels Television’s current affairs program, Politic Today, said Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has shown that he is a man that lacks integrity and honor.
