Ex-PDP guber candidate, Jandor declares 2027 bid for Lagos governorship on APC platform

Olajide Adediran, former Lagos governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and leader of the Lagos4Lagos Movement, has declared his intention to contest the 2027 election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, announced his decision while speaking with Vanguard during Nigeria’s 65th independence anniversary.

He also pledged full support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu, describing him as a progressive leader who deserves another term.

“As for Lagos state, I am offering myself once again to serve. I’m indeed running for the Lagos governorship race in 2027,” he said.

He dismissed speculations about other potential contenders, including Seyi Tinubu, son of the president, and former governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

“When it was time for me to truly leave, I came all out, and we took Lagos by storm.

“Very soon, activities will begin to galvanise support from Mr President and the party to ensure that whoever picks the APC governorship ticket in Lagos will have a strong run. Let me put this to rest: I am running in 2027,” he declared.

Adediran commended Tinubu’s leadership, describing it as “progressive and visionary”.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has proven his capacity to lead this country with vision and courage.

“I call on Lagosians and Nigerians at large to ensure he gets a second term in 2027 so we can all continue to benefit from his progressive leadership,” he stated.

He urged Nigerians to remain hopeful, saying the country’s future holds brighter promises.
