Suspected political thugs at the weekend attacked the campaign train of the Lagos state governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Azeez Olajide Adediran-JANDOR while returning from visitation to members of the party at the Ikoga Junction area of Badagry Local Government.
During the attack, several members of Jandor’s entourage and press men, with one of the injured journalists who is in critical condition in an undisclosed hospital while those injured are being treated.
In a statement by the Lagos state PDP Publicity Secretary and Chairman, Media and Publicity Team for JandorFunke 2023 Campaign Council, Hon. Hakeem Amode, the party raised concern over the threat to use APC sponsored thugs to attack the campaign programs of our gubernatorial candidate Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran-JANDOR.
“We would like to state categorically that this will not deter the determination of our candidate to campaign for the next election and win the election come March 29, 2023.
“We would like to call on the Commissioner of Police of Lagos state and the Area Commander of Police in the Badagry division to do everything possible to fish out those behind the attack and necessary disciplinary actions taken against them to forestall such occurrences in the future and to instill confidence in our members that they will be protected during this campaign period.
“We would also strongly warn those that are hell bent on causing trouble or planning to disrupt the campaign and elections that we would not fold our arms and watch as we will resist all forms of intimidation.
