Lagos 2027: Jandor Declares Governorship Ambition Under APC, Backs Tinubu

The Lead Visioner of the Lagos4Lagos Movement and former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Dr. Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has formally declared his intention to contest the 2027 Lagos State governorship election under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In an interview with Vanguard during Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary, Adediran also pledged his full support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, describing him as a leader deserving of 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,” Jandor affirmed, dismissing speculations about other possible contenders, including Seyi Tinubu, the President’s son, and former governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

Reflecting on his political journey, he noted that his early involvement in Lagos politics disrupted the status quo.
“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 galvanize 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 President Tinubu’s leadership, describing it as bold 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 said.

He further urged Nigerians to remain hopeful and resilient, assuring them that the nation’s future promises brighter opportunities.
