The Lagos State 2023 Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran, a.k.a Jandor, says his ambition to become the next governor of the state is in a bid to further promote inclusive governance and development in the state.

The Lead Visioner of the Lagos4Lagos Movement, made this disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday.

Jandor said his aspiration is not merely about ambition but about articulating a shared vision for the future of Lagos.

“It is about stewardship, about building a Lagos where opportunity, innovation, and prosperity are accessible to all,” Adediran said.

He added that he is eyeing Gov Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s seat to further strengthen accountability, transparency, and service delivery, stressing that he was a firm believer in party supremacy and would subordinate his aspiration to the party’s decisions for 2027.

According to him, his team will be working tirelessly to ensure that the APC not only succeeds electorally but also delivers meaningfully for the people of Lagos.

“Today, we are in APC and we are happy to return home where we belong. In 2023, I ran for the topmost office in the state.

“I was on the ballot, not an accidental candidate. I picked the ticket to be governor in 2023 of a major political party, which is the PDP, and we have not departed from that path.

“I am also here in APC to continue where we stopped. I am running. I’m running in 2027 for governorship in Lagos state.

“We will subject ourselves to the internal democracy of the party in APC, and whatever the party decides, we’re going to work for the party. I am running for governor of Lagos state in 2027 under APC,” he added.

The Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2023 general elections, Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran, aka Jandor, has advised former President Goodluck Jonathan not to heed calls to contest the presidential poll in 2027.

Jandor, Lead Visioner of the Lagos4Lagos Movement, gave this advise in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Lagos.

According to him, Jonathan would be taking a political risk by contesting, predicting he would be reduced to a minnow by President Bola Tinubu at the polls.

Jandor urged the ex-president to stay in retirement.

He further told Jonathan that those telling him to run against Tinubu were deceiving him, reiterating that Tinubu is a master in the game of politics, who cannot be defeated by Jonathan or any other figure in 2027.

“I disagree with people calling on Jonathan to re-contest, people saying Jonathan is the only person who can challenge Tinubu, citing his popularity and experience.

“It was this same man (Tinubu) who defeated him (Jonathan) from the outside. So, they are not the same. If you accidentally found yourself at the Aso Villa as President, it is different from somebody who gave his all to get there.

“It is different from somebody who, against all odds, got there. They did all sorts for him not to get there, and he got there. Such a man, cannot be put side by side with somebody who just slept and woke up and found himself on the seat of President,” he said.

The Senior Political Assistant to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Demola Olarewaju, has suggested how President Bola Tinubu will lose the 2027 presidential election.

Olarewaju disclosed that if Atiku and former President Goodluck Jonathan run for the presidency on different platforms in 2027, Tinubu will lose the election.

Featuring on Mic On podcast on Saturday, Olarewaju said Jonathan would get people’s support if he wins a competitive primaries.

He said: “If Goodluck Jonathan can come into the primaries and contest in a competitive primaries and he wins, we all will support him.”

Asked if Jonathan runs on the platform of the PDP and Atiku runs on ADC platform, what happens to Tinubu, he responds: “APC loses. The APC will have no base in the (2027 election) if Jonathan runs on the PDP and Atiku or someone else runs in the ADC.”

He also insisted that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is no longer a force in national politics.

“The PDP no longer the force it once was and no longer has the drive, the PDP today has become a mere vehicle to satisfy ethnic desires.

“I think the PDP has lost national relevance, I think the PDP will still remain a force in certain states but as far as National politics is concern, the PDP is no longer fit for purpose,” he added.
