Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Lagos, Dr.Olajide Adediran, popularly called Jandor, has challenged the incumbent Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the state to prove that he is medically fit to continue to govern the state by engaging in a road walk across the political wards.
Adediran made the remark while addressing some of his supporters at Carter Street, Ebute Metta, Yaba on Saturday. The PDP governorship candidate maintained that it is through the fitness walk that the people could assess Sanwo-Olu if he has the physical and mental health to continue to govern the state.
Adediran, who addressed the Council of Arewa Chiefs in the palace of the Sarkin Hausawa of Lagos state, urged the people to unite in voting out the All Progressives Congress, APC, adding that they cannot be intimidated to vote against their choice on election day.
He said that he was aware of the challenges the Arewa community faces in the state, promising to create enabling environment for the growth of their businesses. Adediran said that the state government’s ban on motorcycle was counterproductive as the government did not provide an alternative source of income for the operators, condemning the profiling of a particular ethnic as criminals who used motorcycle to commit crime.
According to him, “It is wrong for the government to conclude that your people use motorcycles to commit crime. There are criminals among all ethnic groups in Lagos, it is not peculiar to your people.
