Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, the Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, has officially rejoined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Announcing his return at a press conference in Ikeja, Lagos, Adediran stated that his decision was driven by a commitment to the progress of the state and the need for unity among progressives.
“We have decided to return to the All Progressives Congress,” he declared. “Before you remind me of why I left, there is a Yoruba adage that says if a woman has not tried two husbands, she wouldn’t know which one is better.”
Adediran had resigned from the PDP, along with his Lagos4Lagos Movement, on March 3, citing anti-party activities by some party leaders in the state. Following his exit, he met with prominent political figures, including President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Expressing gratitude to Tinubu for recognizing his contributions to democracy and nation-building, Jandor emphasized that his return to APC was a well-thought-out decision.
Adediran originally left APC for PDP in December 2021, leading his Lagos4Lagos Movement in the defection.
