Dr. Abdul-Azeez Adediran (also known as Jandor), a former PDP leader and the founder of the Lagos4Lagos Movement, has been accepted into the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) by the Lagos State Governance Advisory Council (GAC).

Adediran, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) candidate for governor of Lagos State in 2023, defected to the APC in March, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

Adediran stated that GAC members, led by Prince Tajudeen Olusi, welcomed him in Lagos on Thursday, according to a statement sent by his spokesperson, Pastor Gbenga Ogunleye.

“In a significant show of unity and goodwill, Dr Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, Jandor, was warmly received by the Lagos State Governance Advisory Council (GAC) Chairman, Prince Tajudeen Olusi; Badagry Division Apex Leader of APC and fellow GAC member, Chief Rabiu Oluwa; Sen. Ganiu Olanrewaju Solomon; and Sen. Musiliu Obanikoro.”

According to Adediran, the reception took place in Saudi Arabia.

“The meeting, which was held during the Umrah pilgrimage, served as a symbolic moment of engagement between key stakeholders in Lagos politics, emphasising the importance of unity.

“This encounter reflects a shared commitment to the progress and unity of Lagos State, underscoring the enduring values of collective responsibility and synergy in the furtherance of the vision of the ruling party,” Adediran said.

NAN recalls that Adediran resigned from the PDP on March 3, alleging indiscipline and betrayal by party leaders.

Adediran, who leads the Lagos4Lagos Movement and was once an APC governorship aspirant, had defected to PDP from APC in 2021. (NAN)
