Olajide Adediran, lead visioner of the Lagos4Lagos Movement, has clinched the governorship ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos state.
The PDP governorship primaries were held in most states on Wednesday.
Declaring the result of the Lagos primary, Emmanuel Ogidi, the returning officer, said Adediran — better known as Jandor — scored 679 votes to defeat David Vaughan, who polled 20 votes.
Ogidi said 775 ad hoc delegates were scheduled to participate in the primary, but 709 were accredited.
“The total number of accredited voters is 709, and Olajide Adediran got 679 votes, David Kolawole Vaughan had 20, and we had 10 voided votes,” he said.
“Having satisfied all the requirements in our guidelines, I want to announce Dr Olajide Adediran as our candidate after scoring the highest votes of 679.
“He is hereby declared the winner and returned elected.”
