He added that their position is not about his political affiliation but protecting a bonafide Lagosian.

The PDP chieftain spoke at a press conference on behalf of Omo Eko Pataki, an umbrella body of prominent Lagos indigenes, which took place at his Ikoyi office.

According to him, Rhodes-Vivour is a bonafide Lagosian, and should anything happen to him, the public should know who to hold responsible.

Reacting in a statement, the State Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Hakeem Amode, said the PDP candidate, Abdul-Azeez Adeniran, popularly known as Jandor, joined this gubernatorial race to promote worthy causes that would enhance the collective well-being and security of Lagosians and Nigerians in general.

The PDP candidate is independent-minded and will not cave into the rapacious desires of reactionary forces. He has proved that he can hold his own on a number of occasions,” Daily Trust quoted him as saying.
