Abdulazeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has officially declared his intention to contest the Lagos governorship election in 2027. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, the former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate emphasized his readiness to run under the All Progressives Congress (APC), which he joined earlier this year after resigning from the PDP over what he described as indiscipline and anti-party activities.

Jandor, however, pledged loyalty to the party’s eventual decision, stating that he would support any candidate chosen as the APC flagbearer, including Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu. He noted that while all aspirants, including former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and Senator Tokunbo Abiru, are qualified to contest, he brings valuable electoral experience, having previously run for the office without institutional backing.

Addressing speculations about Seyi Tinubu’s possible ambition, Jandor remarked that the president’s son has yet to declare but acknowledged his right to contest. “At the end of the day, whoever the party selects, we will all support that candidate, but for my part, I am running for Lagos governor in 2027 and have officially declared,” he said. His statement sets the stage for what could become a keenly contested APC primary in the build-up to 2027.
