Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Olabode George has labeled the charge made against him by Adediran Olajide, also known as Jandor, a 2023 candidate for governor of Lagos State, an insult.

According to ZINGTIE, Jandor, who just quit from the PDP, accused George of publicly endorsing a different party’s candidate for governor and urging Lagos citizens not to support the PDP.

The elder statesman responded to the charge by saying that Jandor and his well-known popularity would be politically removed from the streets of Lagos with just his attention.

He made this statement yesterday during an appearance on Frontline, Eaglean 102.5 FM’s Current Affairs Program.

Declaring that Jandor was “insolent” and had never acted in the party’s best interests, George said: “I am in my 80’s, he is a child, this little rat that you are talking about, what does he know about this party? Let me be frank, I consider it as an insult, a complete insolence. This boy, my children are much older than him and like I learnt in my Latin class in secondary school, it is an “infradig”, an attempt for me to respond to that clown, it is absolute rubbish.”

People like Gbadebo Vivour-Rhodes, the candidate for the Labour Party, resigned and switched to the opposition party even though he was a more credible candidate since Jandor had no knowledge how the party operated but was still given the opportunity to run as its candidate, George continued.

He said, “Somebody I have regard and respect for and cannot say no to, brought him (Jandor), recommended him and he competed with a highly experienced, brilliant, well educated, one who went to the best university in the world, got his degree from MIT, from a very resound family background, who had contested before in the West Senatorial District of Lagos, which contains 10 local governments, while the Central is five and the East is also five.

“So, West Senatorial District is about 50 per cent of Lagos State and he contested and obviously won, but the manipulations of the electoral commission didn’t just start today.

“This candidate is outstanding, with a very well-respected family background. We asked them to step down for one another, while the other deputise, but immediately after that, he said eh sir, someone told him before that in case he wins, he should go and take one woman from Ikorodu (Actress, Funke Akindele).

“During that primaries, we told the other boy to step down after getting the form for N21 million and of course, I was able to convince his own father, Wale Rhodes-Vivour, because we were classmates. I said his son, Gbadebo, should calm down and take the second slot, else he (GRV) would’ve beaten him (Jandor) blue black and yellow and green. He listened and accepted.”
