Ahead of the 2023 gubernatorial election in Lagos State, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Abdul-Azeez Adediran popular as Jandor, has promised to put an end to the excesses of transport unions and motor park touts if elected into office.
Adediran stated this while speaking on Sunday evening, October 30, at the formal presentation of the PDP governorship candidate in Akwa Ibom State; Pastor Umo Eno, to indigenes of the state residing in Lagos State.
At the event which was held at the Nigerian Airforce, Kofo Abayomi Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, Jandor said that he is prepared to give residents of the state a new lease of life.
Jandor, who played host at the event, said: “We will provide new leadership in Lagos State.
“We will check the excesses of motor touts as well as Iyaloja and Babaloja in the state.

“Anyone that closes any market in the state would be sent to prison. I am not going to have any godfather.
“We will ensure that any money collected as revenue in Lagos State is spent for the people of the state; as against what is currently obtainable in the state.”
According to him, the time has come to liberate the people of the state, as he added that his administration would provide the opportunity for peaceful co-existence between indigenes and non-indigenes in the state.
Furthermore, he said that his administration would appreciate the contributions of non-indigenes to the economy of the state under his government.
Jandor’s statement comes the same day as the commencement of the seven-day protest of the Joint Drivers Welfare Association of Nigeria (JDWAN), who are protesting over alleged extortion and harassment by motor park management and thugs.
