A former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP governorship candidate in Lagos State, Mr Abdul-Azeez Adediran, also known as Jandor, has said that the party can never win elections in the state because of its weak grassroots structure.
Adediran stated this on Saturday, after he cast his vote during the state’s council election.
OSMEK NEWS gathered that Adediran voted at Polling Unit 001, Ward D, Irewe, a riverine community in the Ojo area of the state.
According to Adediran, who defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, recently, for the PDP to win the state and displace the APC, it needed to work very hard at the grassroots.
The former PDP governorship candidate, however, said he did not even see any party displacing APC in the state now or in the future.
“While in the PDP we came with fresh ideas and we did our best, but could not make headway because PDP as a party is rarely known at the grassroots.
“APC as a party in Lagos State has over the years built strong grassroots structures.The party is a household name in every community.
“Based on this, people like us, with host of followers, joined the train to build on the legacies of previous leaders rather than stay in opposition,” he said.
