The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State in the 2023 elections, Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran popularly known as Jandor, has returned to the All Progressives Congress.
Jandor confirmed this on Monday during a press conference at his office in Ikeja, Lagos.
It comes weeks after resigning from the PDP.
Jandor cited internal crises and lack of party discipline within the PDP as the primary reasons for his departure, expressing disappointment in the party’s inability to address anti-party activities during the 2023 general elections.
He said, “Our story in the PDP was a case of working with perennial political saboteurs but we have resolved to love our future much more than we hate our past.
“After extensive consultations with family, political associates, elder statesmen, supporters, and well-meaning Lagosians who share our vision for a greater and more prosperous Lagos, and in identifying that the primary reason a political party exists is to win elections and ultimately form the government to contribute to the welfare, security and total development of the people, we wish to formally announce that we have decided to join a political party that considers winning for its members as top priority, not minding who is on the ballot.
“We have decided to return to the All Progressives Congress.”
