Dr. Seye Dairo, Campaign Director-General for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship Candidate in Lagos State, Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran alias Jandor, has resigned.
Dairo, who announced his resignation in a letter, provided no explanation for his decision. He did, however, express gratitude to the PDP candidate for the chance to serve as his campaign director.
The PDP has suffered multiple resignations of major leaders and members who have either joined the ruling APC or defected to the Labour Party.
The former DG was subsequently spotted at a conference where former PDP Deputy National Chairman Chief Olabode George led other members of Omo Eko Pataki to endorse Labour Party candidate Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.

Meanwhile, Jandor declared during a news conference in his office on Thursday that no candidate in the party has ever campaigned as he has in the previous three months.
He stated, “Lagos PDP is not in alliance with any political party, all Nigerians should vote for the PDP in the election. The rumour in come quarters that I stepped down for the candidate of another party is a false.
“We are not in alliance with any political party. As the candidate of the party, I am not stepping down for anybody. No candidate has ever worked the way we have worked.
“We traversed everywhere in the state and this is a radical departure from what had been done in the past. Lagosians should take a critical look at all of us running for the office. That is why it is called general election, it is no longer an intra-party election.”
Jandor added that with the February 25, 2023 Presidential Elections, especially in Lagos, the people of the state should see the election as very important, adding that it is about electing the Governor that is independent and who understands the nitty gritty of the state.
“This election is about giving Lagos a breath of fresh air. It is about time we did something else in Lagos State.
“Jandor, as an individual, since 2016, alongside other colleagues of mine on this journey, we have been on the streets of Lagos creating awareness, doing everything and we have been consistent and focused.
“We stood by our demands. We should look at the records of the contestants on their merits and take a decision.
“Of course, I have been noticing some cross -carpeting from the APC to the PDP and from Labour Party to the PDP and then to whatever. This is the season, which is why it is called general election.”
