LAGOS PDP 2023 GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATE, JANDOR, DEFECTS TO APC

The 2023 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), in Lagos State, Abdul-Azeez Adediran, has joined the All Progressives Congress.

Adediran, who is better known as Jandor, declared his allegiance to the APC at a news conference, Monday, March 17, 2025, about two weeks after he announced his defection from the PDP.

He said, “We have decided to return to the All Progressives Congress”, after accusing some PDP leaders in Lagos of engaging in acti-party activities.

“Before you are quick to remind me of the reasons why I dumped APC, I want to say that there is a Yoruba adage that says, if a woman has not tried two husbands, she would not know which one is better”, Jandor stated.

He said: “We were waiting to see if the party at the national level governed by the constitution of the party would look into the provisions of that constitution and say that for engaging in anti-party activities openly, this is the sanction.

“We waited patiently for two years and see whether that would happen, instead of that, the same person was appointed Vice Chairman, Disciplinary Committee by the national,” he said while resigning from the PDP.

Before making his decision to dump the PDP public, Jandor said he had met with President Bola Tinubu; former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, and other prominent political bigwigs in the country.
