Jandor Debunks Claims Of APC Backing Any Governorship Aspirant

Abdul-Azeez Adediran, also known as Jandor, is an All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate running for governor of Lagos in 2027. He has said that the party has not selected a consensus candidate.

Jandor said that no such decision has been made by the party leadership in a statement signed by his spokesperson, Gbenga Ogunleye.

We restate, in line with the official position of the Lagos State APC leadership as communicated by the State Chairman, that no aspirant has been anointed and that all aspirants will participate in a credible primary election,” the statement reads.

The aspirant, however, said if the party’s leadership resolves to adopt a consensus candidacy, he “will fully align with that decision, irrespective of who emerges”.

“This is a position anchored on his readiness to compete, and a willingness to submit to the collective will of the party,” the statement reads.

“JANDOR urges party members not to mistake a campaign by an individual or a political group for their choice aspirant as the party position or that of our Leader. When the party and our Leader speak, I am sure no one will do otherwise,” the statement reads.
