Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has withdrawn from the Lagos State governorship race under the All Progressives Congress. This decision comes shortly after he purchased nomination forms worth N50 million.
Reason for Withdrawal
Jandor stated that his withdrawal was guided by the need to protect party unity and align with the direction set by President Bola Tinubu. He urged his supporters and members of the Lagos4Lagos Movement to remain loyal to the party and support its chosen candidate.
Background
Jandor joined the APC in 2025 after contesting the 2023 election under the Peoples Democratic Party. He had recently obtained nomination forms to enter the race, but party leaders settled on Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat as the consensus candidate.
His withdrawal signals alignment with the party's internal decision following consultations among key stakeholders, including President Bola Tinubu.
This development highlights the ongoing political realignments in Lagos State as the governorship election approaches.
