Lagos4Lagos, is opposed to the national leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu, for choosing and  fixing leaders at will

The ranks of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos has swelled with a faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) defecting to its side. 

Lagos4Lagos, is a movement in the APC opposed to the national leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu, whom they accuse of choosing and  fixing  leaders against the interest of the members of the party in the State.  

Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, led the group into the PDP at a ceremony held in Lagos.

The Lagos4Lagos movement under the leadership of Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, conducted parallel congresses during the ward, local government and state congresses of the APC recently.

But the congresses conducted by the Jandor-led group were not recognised as the national secretariat of the party ratified the congresses held by the APC faction loyal to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Jandor, who has indicated interest in contesting the 2023 governorship election in the state, led his members from the 20 local governments of the state to the PDP on Saturday.

While receiving the new PDP members, Saraki assured them that they “are moving to the party that would rescue Nigeria, to the party that would rescue Lagos State, to the party that would change the fortune of this country”.
