Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Lagos State, Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has declared his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election.
Naijaonpoint reports that Jandor, in an interview with Vanguard on Thursday, dismissed speculations about other likely contenders, including the President’s son, Seyi Tinubu, and former governor, Akinwunmi Ambode.
He also pledged total support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, stating that the President deserved another term to consolidate his achievements and lead the country to even greater heights.
He said, “As for Lagos State, I am offering myself once again to serve. I’m indeed running for the Lagos governorship race in 2027.
“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 to ensure that whoever picks the APC governorship ticket in Lagos will have a strong run. Let me put this to rest: I am running in 2027.”
While praising Tinubu’s leadership, Jandor described it as progressive and visionary.
He added, “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.”
