The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Dr. AbdulA­zeez Adediran, also called Jandor, has accused the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of hiring impostors to pose as members of Lagos4La­gos Movement decamping to the ruling party on Thursday.

While making a clarification on the report that 5,000 of his supporters defected to the ruling party during a press conference in his Ikeja office over the weekend, the PDP candidate said he didn’t lose any of his supporters, stress­ing that the APC stage managed the defection to deceive Lagosians.

The leader of Lagos4Lagos Movement said none of his mem­bers went to the APC, berating the ruling party for doing a shabby work where they claimed that 5,000 people defected although what was seen on the video were less than 50 people.

He said, “No member of La­gos4Lagos Movement was there. What are we going there for; we have all we need in the PDP.

“We don’t have money but we have God and the people. I don’t know most of these faces that were put clothes on in the name of defection.

“What happened on Thursday is a paid job. Our members were not there, they are still with us. All our coordinators are still with us and they are here at this news con­ference. We are 100 percent intact,” he said. (Sunday Independent)
