The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos, Abdul-Azeez Adediran (Jandor), has once again decried the attacks on his campaign as the elections draw near.

Jandor made this known when he paid a visit to the Chief Imam at the Ketu Central Mosque on Tuesday, January 24.

The flagbearers of the PDP met the religious leader on the sidelines of a scheduled tour of Kosofe Local Government Area.

He noted that a security operative was stabbed as hoodlums attacked his convoy early in the day.

Jandor lamented the recurrence of such across the state since he kicked off his campaign to 245 wards on October 19, 2022, reports Daily Post.

According to reports, the motorcade of the candidate was targeted at different times in Badagry and Agege.

He, however, vowed to continue in his quest to rescue Lagos from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

He disclosed that also on Tuesday, his running mate, Funke Akindele, was chased out of Kosofe Fruit Markets.

The politician said the trend “is not healthy for democracy and the 2023 election”.
