Why PDP has never won Lagos guber election – Gbadamosi

Two-time governorship aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos, Mr Babatunde Gbadamosi has said the party has never won the governorship seat in the state because of internal crisis.

Gbadamosi vied for PDP’s governorship ticket in 2011 and 2015 and lost to Dr Ade Dosumu and Mr Jimi Agbaje in 2011 and 2015 respectively.

At an interactive session with newsmen on Friday, he said: “PDP usually have deliberate internal crisis which they always gave as reasons for not winning elections in Lagos.

“Once elections are around the corner, the party machinery becomes more interested in collecting money from aspirants, but never works to ensure victory.

“It is during elections that acrimony begins and becomes irreconcilable till elections are over.

“The state chairman of the PDP dumped the party for the APC last month with only few months to the 2019 general elections.

“Some members of the party always work to suppress any aspirant who is likely to win in Lagos State.”
