Governorship Candidate of the African Democratic Congress in Lagos, Funsho Doherty has dismissed reports that he has collapsed his structure for his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party, Jide Adediran also known as Jandor.
In a statement he personally signed, Doherty, explained that he had reiterated his intent not to step down for any candidate despite entreaties from the PDP.
The statement reads; “the Governorship candidate of the PDP had reached out to me seeking a meeting and suggesting a collaboration. In response, I told him that my ticket and my resolve to serve the people of Lagos as their next Governor are not negotiable.
“These fake news reports are intensifying as it becomes clearer and clearer that the people are choosing us as the credible alternative to the ruling party in Lagos. Ours is the candidacy to beat.
“These sponsored efforts are futile attempts to puncture the hope that is awakening across the length and breadth of Lagos as rich and poor, old and young align with our simple message. Your government CAN, MUST and WILL be made to act in your interest and deliver the quality of life, dignity and respect you deserve,” Doherty affirmed.
