Jandor was at my home a few months ago, seeking my support, having "won" the PDP ticket. I asked for his manifesto, & his answer was, "we will build the Lagos of our dreams". Asked to define that, he said "a Lagos where Lagosians will be in charge of their commonwealth".
Prodded further, he had NOTHING ELSE! Asked for his manifesto, he retorted that a teammwete still writing it! I, Babatunde Gbadamosi, should come & join his team of "teknorats", to help write his manifesto.
How am I expected to line up behind such a dunce?
The next thing I see is the dagini-dooro, agunmaniye, on @ARISEtv , trying to leverage my personal circumstances for political gain.
Eventually, we will know what REALLY influenced his choice of deputy, beyond the 20m Trinidadians, Bots, Bayelsans, and Kanawas #Jandor_Onikure
After all was said and done, I compared that meeting to several chance meetings I'd had in the past with @GRVlagos , and it was a no brainer. Gbadebo himself had no clue that I was not going to run. I deliberately gave him the impression that I might, just to ensure that HE did.
I was scared stiff of having no choice but to support a certified dunce, and I'm glad today that Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, a genuine son of the soil, intelligent, highly skilled, passionate, intrepid and committed youth is on the ballot #GRVforLagos

The Àgbàdo crew keep boasting about Baba Alagbado's "increase" of Lagos' IGR. He never used it to provide the basic utilities that would have improved Lagosiabs' lives immensely. If he had lit up just 8 out of the 20 LGAs, provided water & fixed the roads & drains, Lagos would...
...be vastly different. We would definitely not be consistently on the list of the world's most unliveable cities, with cities like Kabul, Afghanistan, doing better than Lagos! Oh, the shame!😭😭
The truth is, he never REALLY increased the IGR. What he really did was a sleight of hand trick, the type we used to call "the more you look, the less you see, American wonder". This is, of course, an unpopular and controversial opinion. If you're patient, I'll explain.
