The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos said if the party loses the State in 2023, Lagosians may stop voting for the party.

The spokesman of the party, Taofik Gani, told the Nation that the PDP had begun strategising to take control of the State from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He added that members needed to unite and flush out saboteurs within the party before the election year.

“In 2023, we are not going to take it lightly because Lagosians have been disappointed that our votes do not count. We are mindful of the fact that if we lose in 2023, Lagosians will stop voting for PDP. This is why we are leaving no stone unturned to win the governorship seat and other elective offences in the next election,” Gani said.

The APC has governed Lagos for 20 years. But the PDP is counting on the return of Tunde Gbadamosi to the party to win the Governorship election in 2023. Mr Gbadamosi was the Governorship candidate of the Action Democratic Party in 2019.

“He (Tunde Gbadamosi) became the toast of the electorate in Lagos, given his brilliant performance during the governorship election debate. With Gbadamosi as a standard-bearer in 2023, the PDP will coast home to victory,” Gani noted.

The PDP spokesman told the Nation that Jimi Agbaje, the party’s governorship candidate in 2015 and 2019 elections was not being dumped. He said: “Agbaje is a nice man. He may have some mistakes, but he has ample chances to make correction. He has supporters across the state, we don’t write him off.”

Mr Gani said the PDP recognises Adedeji Doherty as the State Chairman and Chief Olabode George as the leader of the party in Lagos. Although Dr Adegbola Dominic claims leadership of the party in the state, Gani denies polarisation of the PDP in Lagos.

“We will not underestimate the external forces that have been destabilizing the party. We shall flush out the remnants of saboteurs in our fold,” Gani said.
