My administration will review all forced evictions in Lagos ― Jandor

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Dr. Olajide Adediran, popularly called Jandor, said his administration will review all forced evictions and demolition of properties across Lagos by previous administrations if elected as governor of the state, come 2023.

The PDP governorship candidate made this known while addressing artisans, party members and leaders in Ward J, Constituency 1, in Eti-Osa area of the state, during his campaign tour of the council on Sunday.

The gubernatorial candidate of main opposition party lamented that several forced evictions across Lagos did not culminate into projects that benefited the people, noting that in some cases, the lands were taken over by top government officials for personal use, assuring that his administration would check such trend across the state if elected into office, come 2023.

“I am going to protect this community as governor, the last time I was in Ibeju-Lekki, I told them that all our lands that they have collected in the name of personal use I would collect them back.

“I would take the land back and give them back to the people when I become governor. It is either, we want to continue with them or we want things to change,” Jandor said.

The PDP chieftain thanked members in the ward for the massive support for the party over the years, urging them to work to deliver the PDP candidates in the 2023 polls.

“We should deliver our state for PDP, let’s focus on what would give us benefits than fighting a fight that does not concern us.

Meanwhile, Jandor promised to set up an empowerment scheme for women and youths in the state if elected, saying the only reason he was in the race was to serve the good people of Lagos.

“Please be rest assured that we would empower our women and youths; I mean give you money to start something that would bring income.

He charged them to vote massively for PDP’s candidates across Lagos, including Atiku Abubakar, the party’s presidential candidate.

“These people only come and tell you lies every four years, they have nothing to say this time around. If you vote us; we would treat all residents of Lagos equally. We would make sure that all public institutions respect Lagosians.

“We would give money to our women to start businesses and empower them when we are elected,” Jandor said.
