Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, former Lagos governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and leader of the Lagos4Lagos Movement, has declared his intention to contest the 2027 Lagos governorship election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking with Vanguard during Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary, Jandor pledged his full support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid, describing the president as a “progressive and visionary leader” deserving of a second term.

 “As for Lagos State, I am offering myself once again to serve. I’m indeed running for the Lagos governorship race in 2027,” he said.

Dismissing speculations about other potential contenders, including Seyi Tinubu, son of the president, and former governor Akinwunmi Ambode, Jandor reaffirmed his resolve to contest, stressing that the APC would field a strong candidate in Lagos with Tinubu’s backing.

 “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.”

Jandor urged Nigerians to remain hopeful, insisting that the nation’s future holds brighter promises.
