Adedeji Doherty has emerged as the new Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party in Lagos State.

 

 

He was sworn into office by the party’s National Vice Chairman south west, Eddy Olafeso.

 

 

Doherty had contested for the party’s governorship ticket in 2015 and 2019, but lost to Jimi Agbaje.

 

 

In his acceptance speech, Doherty solicited the support of members to deliver the state come 2023, saying Lagos needs intervention.

 

Correspondent Taiwo Olapade reports that the former PDP Chairman, Lagos state, Moshood Salvador dumped the party in the build up to 2019 general elections.
