According to the former PDP spokesman in Lagos, his party is a platform that provides the best form of governance to Lagosians.
“Recently, we had an All Progressives Congress chieftain, Olajide Adediran aka Jandol, decamp to the PDP with his group, Lagos4Lagos,” he said. This is because they have faith in the PDP and have seen how it is a superior platform.
“Governor Sanwo-Olu probably could have done a hundred percent more if he wasn’t in the APC because it’s a structural thing; the PDP in Lagos has a controlling leadership for sanity, morality, and service delivery, but the APC has a selfish leadership.” That is why Governor Sanwo-Olu is limited to his current actions.

“If Governor Sanwo-Olu is looking for a ticket to run again, we will give him the same opportunity as every other aspirant to run in the PDP primary.” In the PDP, everyone has a level playing field, unlike in the APC, where no one can become a councilor without the support of the leader.
“Every politician from the House of Assembly to the House of Representatives and others is covered by the PDP.”
There are indications that Sanwo-Olu wants to return for another four years as political maneuvering begins in earnest ahead of the 2023 elections.
“I believe we are doing a fantastic job, if I may say so.” When asked if he has any plans to run for office in the next election, Sanwo-Olu said, “I think the citizens know what they will be missing if they don’t let us continue to wrap up all of the things we are doing.”
Akinwunmi Ambode, the immediate past governor of Lagos State, urged youths to get their Permanent Voters Cards ahead of the 2023 general elections, as previously reported.

Ambode served as governor of Lagos from 2015 to 2019 but was defeated in the APC primary by Babajide Sanwo-Olu due to internal party squabbles.
Both Ambode and Sanwo-Olu are constitutionally allowed to run for another four-year term if the electorate so chooses.
