Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has announced his return to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Jandor, the 2023 Lagos State governorship candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) made the declaration during a press conference at his campaign office in Ikeja on Monday.

Jandor, who had previously defected to the PDP in 2022 after years with the APC, cited internal crises and a lack of discipline within the PDP as key reasons for his departure.

He described his time in the PDP as fraught with challenges, including what he called “working with perennial political saboteurs.”

“Our return to the APC is not a decision made lightly,” Jandor stated at the press conference.

He continued: “It is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to the progress of Lagos State and our belief that unity among progressives is essential to achieving the collective aspirations of our people.”

He emphasized his commitment to the values of service, integrity, and progress, vowing to continue championing the cause of a better Lagos for current and future generations.
