Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Publicity Secretary of the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Hakeem Amode, has said Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran (Jandor) remains the leader of the party.<\/p>\n

Amode made the affirmation in a statement on Friday in Lagos.<\/p>\n

He was reacting to the controversy generated by Adediran\u2019s recent declaration that he remained the state\u2019s party leader.<\/p>\n

NAN reports that Adediran, the state PDP governorship candidate in the 2023 election, had on Sunday declared himself as the leader of the party at a meeting with former members of his campaign committee and other party members.<\/p>\n

The declaration has prompted calls by some party stakeholders that he retracts the leadership claim and apologises to the party.<\/p>\n

Amode said Adediran was right in his declaration since many supposed PDP leaders allegedly renounced the party to join other parties around the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n

He said contrary to speculations, the party never summoned Adediran to any meeting to apologise for his statement.<\/p>\n

Amode said: \u201cNobody can deny that as the governorship candidate of the party in Lagos State in 2023, Jandor is now one of the party leaders in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis leadership does not affect the duties of the executive members of the party in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy should Jandor be asked to apologise to the party for putting the records straight when those who worked against the party have not been asked to apologise and are even being celebrated?<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone like Jandor ought to be celebrated rather than condemned for keeping the flag of the party flying despite all the shenanigans that took place before, during and after the elections.\u201d<\/p>\n
