Wednesday, March 5, 2025 -The PDP governorship candidate for Lagos state in the 2023 general election, Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has said that he would have defeated Babajide Sanwo-Olu but for the “Peter Obi effect.”
“We did everything, but that wave came and swallowed the whole thing.
Nobody saw that coming,” Jandor said in the interview
When asked, “If not for Peter Obi’s influence in the presidential
election, would you have won the governorship election?”, he responded
“Absolutely, I probably would have won the election at the governorship
election. The 2023 election came with this Tsunami that nobody ever expected
and it was there for everybody to see,” he said
For the governorship election, the electoral umpire INEC declared
incumbent governor Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the
winner. He polled a total of 762,134 votes, defeating LP’s Gbadebo
Rhodes-Vivour who scored 312,329 votes, followed by Jandor with 62,449 votes.
