2027: Jandor returns to APC.

Olajide Adediran, also known as Jandor, the Peoples Democratic Party’s 2023 Lagos State governorship candidate, has declared his return to the All Progressives Congress, or APC.

Adediran and his supporters announced this on Monday during a media event at Liberty Place, Adeniyi Jones Street, Ikeja, Lagos.

The development follows a closed-door meeting between Jandor and President Bola Tinubu in Aso Rock, Abuja, last week, during which undisclosed issues were discussed.

Jandor spoke with numerous political leaders before meeting Tinubu, including former vice president Atiku Abubakar, former military president Ibrahim Babangida, former head of state Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, and Adewole Adebayo, the 2023 SDP presidential candidate.

Jandor had earlier resigned from the PDP, citing indiscipline and anti-party activities, betrayal by the party leadership on the eve of the Lagos governorship race, and false claims of an alliance that misled PDP members into voting for another candidate.
