Jandor, was Joined in the campaign by the party’s candidate for the federal House of Representatives in the constituency, Bankole Wellington, popularly called Bank W.
Also in the campaign was Samani Muhammed, the PDP House of Assembly candidate in the constituency.
During the campaign, the PDP gubernatorial candidates held interactive sessions with different groups and party members across awards in the constituency to sell his agendas to Lagosians.
Speaking during a meeting with Adamawa boys in Obalende axis of the constituency, Jandor said the PDP is a party for the masses that do not discriminate, urging the group to vote all PDP’s candidates in the state to end years of misgovernance in Lagos.
He charged the group to vote for him, stressing that if elected his administration would revisit all unpopular policies taken by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) administration in Lagos recently.
“They would come here and lie to you, the same thing they told you four years ago, be aware. We would revisit all unpopular policies in Lagos, if we take something, I would give something back in return.
“If I give a contract here the contractor must tell me that he has to employ youths of this area to be part of the work or it would be cancelled.
“You can see us coming to talk to you, we did not send someone; we are doing our campaign in Eti-Osa, Adamawa boys are part of us. When they come to campaign tell them; the governor should come by himself and campaign” Jandor said.
The leader of the group, James Shogunmi said they were honoured by the presence of the gubernatorial candidate, promising to work for this victory at the poll.
Shogunmi said the party’s decision to give the the House of Assembly ticket of the constituency to a non-indigene of Lagos had encouraged them to vote for the party.
Also speaking, Banky W, said he has been serving his constituency for several years now, stressing that over 5,00 people had benefited from the Lekki food bank project within the constituency.
The popular musician stressed that his decision to join politics is to serve.
“I am going into politics to serve, I have been giving back to the society, I have been supporting my constituency for years.
“But nothing has changed in the way things are done with years of voting for the APC, it is time to vote for a new party,”Banky W said.
Also speaking during a meeting with artisans and other professionals in the Obalende axis of the council, Jandor said the high poverty in the state does not reflect the money Governor Babatunde Sanwo-Olu’s claimed he had invested in tackling unemployment and empowerment.
He said if elected all interest groups in the state would be given a sense of belonging by his administration.
The PDP candidate said his administration would not intimidate Lagosians, urging them to vote for all PDP’s candidates including the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
“I would put a stop to any form of harassment on Lagos roads.
“I would be the next governor of Lagos state. Let me explain to you why I decided to come and see you. Other candidates, you just see their posters, but I came personally, so I can know what to do when elected.
“If they have been winning the wards here and nothing has changed; it means if they win for 100 years nothing would change.
“If anybody tells you to vote for a particular governor, ask them; we want to see the governor, let him come and speak with us”,Jandor added.
Responding, Haruna Muhammed, chairman of Tailoring Association in Obalende, said the union was tired of bad governance in the state, while advising Jandor to keep to his campaign promises if elected.
“I hope all that you are saying when you get there you would not change and be a different person”, Muhammed said.
Also during an interaction with a group of women and youths at Obalende police barrack, Jandor said his administration would give the welfare of women and youths a priority and formulate policies at empowering them.
According to Jandor, “I am not here by accident; I am here by conscious effort, that is how we planned it. As I entered the barrack, I said what is it about this barrack? We want to know what they need. Our coming here is to assure you that you would have a government that will be masses friendly.
“We want to run a government for the masses. We would create a ministry of people living with disabilities, because they also need attention. So that nobody would tell me because they are vulnerable that is the reason they don’t have work”
Esther Yerima, leader of the women, lamented that successive administrations in the state had neglected women and youths in the constituency despite support given to them.

It was another colourful and well attended political gathering yesterday at the prestigious Ola-Oki School of Health Auditorium, Ibereko Olorunda LCDA in Lagos state as the former Supervisor for Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Hon. Nurat Olayinka-Zubair hosted over 300 widows and aged in the LCDA as she presented them food items and cash gifts to cushion the current economic hardship as part of efforts to celebrate her political associates and mark her birthday anniversary.
Report has it that, this is the seventh edition of its kind since she assumed office as Supervisor for Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation before and during the era of the present Council Chairman Honourable SAMOLA.
In her welcoming address to the mammoth crowd, Zubair acknowledged each leader and guest with utmost respect adding that their support, advice, mentorship and prayers have made her to continue steering.
According to her, “I have invited you all here today to come and thank God for what he has done in my life, because this is a time and avenue to appreciate God and to continue to demonstrate the covenant I made with God even before I got appointment that I will continue to feed and support the widows and aged.”
Our correspondent gathered that over 300 widows and aged across the 5 wards in Olorunda LCDA received food items such as rice, garri, salt, tomato paste and cash from the celebrant.
Political gladiators and leaders of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) who attended the gathering applauded Zubair for her kindness, support and love for the party as they all expressed their promise to support her candidature during the forthcoming local government poll.
According to the representative of the Badagry APC Apex Leader, Dr. Sunny Ajose, who was ably represented by the Badagry Central Party Chairman, Alhaji Gafar Meyon, said this is commendable from a former office holder who is not currently serving. He added that what he witnessed here today will be reported to the party and leaders of the APC as he call on other political officer holders in Olorunda LCDA to emulate Zubair leadership style.
The second speaker at the gathering who spoke about Zubair’s unique and leadership style was Alhaja M.l Adeshina. In her words, she said, “I am a living witness to what zubair has been doing in Olorunda since the inception of its first edition up to this seventh edition, claiming that the empowerment program had brought succour to many homes and we need to support the program because this is coming from a woman.”
Also Speaking at the event, Alhaja Princess Kikilemo Pesu Ladipo said Zubair’s humility and generosity is second to none and this good act will take her to places because God will never undermine her intention.
On his own side, Hon. Ashade Joseph said what the celebrant did was purely human as he personally donated the sum of 20,000 Twenty Thousand Naira to support the good initiative and kind gesture of Hon. Zubair.
it will be correct to say, Zubair, a former supervisor for WAPA in the LCDA who work rigorously towards the success of the party during the last Presidential and Governorship poll in state is now vying for the ticket of the number one seat of OLORUNDA LCDA come 2025.
Highpoint of the event was the cutting of the birthday cake and presentation of the packed food stuffs to the widows.

Wike and his T-Pain Collaborators playing politics with the suffering of Nigerians
Wike and his T-Pain Collaborators playing politics with the suffering of Nigerians
…Atiku preoccupied with genuine issues affecting Nigerians
Our attention has been drawn to the recent remarks made by Mr. Nyesom Wike, which can only be described as another of his theatrical outbursts. Ordinarily, we would not respond, but we recognize that silence might be misinterpreted.
However, we remain calm, knowing that Nigerians are well acquainted with his antics, a lingering symptom of the bitterness he harbours from his defeat to the Waziri Adamawa at the 2022 party presidential primaries.
Mr. Wike’s comments are nothing more than a string of inanities, lacking substance and driven by personal grievances. If he truly believes Nigerians are content with the current state of affairs under the government he serves, it reveals a deeper truth: his priorities lie not with the people but with himself. This self-absorption is evident in his preoccupation with domestic affairs in Rivers rather than his ministerial responsibilities.
While he may seek to divert attention with his baseless rants, we remain focused on the genuine issues affecting Nigerians. It is clear that Mr. Wike is more concerned with self-interest than addressing the real challenges faced by the nation. In contrast, our commitment remains unwavering, centred on the welfare and progress of the people.
Mr. Wike appears to delight in conjuring fantasies, indulging in his imagination, and paying for live TV coverage to launch tirades against whomever he pleases. However, we shall not descend into the gutters where he feels at home. Instead, we prefer to rise above, maintaining our dignity while others revel in the mud.
