Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Bode George claims that Olajide Adediran, the party’s candidate for governor of Lagos, violated a contract on the choice of a running partner.
George claimed on News Central that Adediran, also known as Jandor, broke the terms of the deal by choosing Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour as his running mate rather than Funke Akindele.

“These two (Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour and Adediran) were the best two we had after their presentation here in my office, so we asked him (Adediran) specifically here, would you work with this man as your deputy, and he responded, ‘absolutely sir,'” he said.

I’m stating this for historical purposes since it actually happened. I’ve heard rumors to the effect that I’m supporting Gbadebo.
