Dr. Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has announced his plan to contest the 2027 Lagos State governorship election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Lead Visioner of the Lagos4Lagos Movement and former PDP governorship candidate made the declaration during Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary in an interview with Vanguard. He also pledged full support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid, stressing that the President deserves another term to consolidate on his achievements.

“As for Lagos State, I am offering myself once again to serve. I’m indeed running for the Lagos governorship race in 2027,” Jandor said, dismissing speculation about other potential contenders, including Seyi Tinubu and former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

He explained that his political journey has always been intentional, noting that his earlier entry into Lagos politics disrupted the establishment. “When it was time for me to truly leave, I came all out, and we took Lagos by storm. Very soon, activities will begin to galvanize support from Mr. President and the party. Let me put this to rest: I am running in 2027,” he declared.

Jandor commended President Tinubu’s leadership, describing it as both courageous and visionary. “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,” he said.

He further urged Nigerians to remain hopeful, assuring that the nation’s future promises brighter opportunities.
