LAGOS, NIGERIA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the 2023 election, Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has once again declared his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election in Lagos State.
Jandor who expressed his interest on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, under a new political banner; the All Progressives Congress (APC) stated that he is once again offering himself to serve the people of Lagos.
He said: “As for Lagos State, I am offering myself once again to serve. I’m indeed running for the Lagos governorship race in 2027.
“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.
“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.”
It would be recalled that Jandor defected back to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in March 2025, just days after abruptly leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
