‘Badagry has been marginalized enough. We are praying for you, God will take you there’, he prayed.
Meanwhile, the governorship candidate of the party, Adeniran had last week asserted that no one should express shock over the recent endorsement of Babajide Sanwo-Olu by Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, pointing out that there was never a time he had never supported his governorship ambition.
The PDP governorship candidate popularly who is popularly referred to as Jandor made this known on Wednesday when he appeared on Channels Television Politics Today which was monitored by Africa Daily News, New York.
‘I became the governorship candidate without any dime from him although he has supported Lagos PDP in the past. He supported someone else and I remember telling Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, that his friend is not supporting me and I still picked that ticket.
‘Nobody expects that a party man, a national leader will do that for any reason at all, but it has happened and there is nothing we can do about it. My worry is this, he should be our role model at his level, as a governor, your office should come with a symbol of decorum.
