Olajide Adeniran, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, better known as Jandor, has slammed the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, for endorsing his Lagos State counterpart, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for a second term in office.
Recall that Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State had on Tuesday endorsed the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, despite his party, PDP, fielding Jandor as its gubernatorial candidate.
The decision of Wike to endorse another party’s governor has drawn widespread reactions, with members of the PDP condemning him, while the APC commended him.
Speaking on Wednesday while appearing on Channels Television, Jandor said he was not surprised Wike endorsed Sanwo-Olu.
He accused the Rivers State Governor of not supporting him during the party’s governorship primary in Lagos because he lacked structure at that time.
According to Jandor, Wike would not have endorsed the Lagos State governor if he (Wike) had done his assignment well.
The PDP governorship candidate said Sanwo-Olu has nothing to show in terms of the execution of projects in his three years as governor, hence Wike had no reason to support the Lagos Governor.
Jandor said: “During my primary, he did not buy my form. He was supporting somebody else in Lagos because he needed structure to win (PDP presidential primary). I don’t have that structure.
“They had done all the structures in the PDP before my coming, and I said to him in the presence of governor Seyi Makinde that ‘your friend is not supporting me in Lagos.’ I repeated it when I went to Port Harcourt.
“That was before the primary. He said he was supporting somebody else, and I understood why he was supporting someone else because I didn’t have anything at that time.
