The 2023 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Olajide Adediran, commonly called Jandor, hasn't dismissed joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) to achieve his ambition of becoming Lagos State Governor.
Jandor made this known in a Channels Television interview after ditching the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Recall that his political history began in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) before he left the party with his Lagos4Lagos Movement, a bloc within the ruling party, in 2022.
He, however, joined the PDP before the 2023 election and emerged as the governorship candidate in Lagos but lost to Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the APC, who got re-elected.
Addressing concerns on why he left the PDP, he accused some leaders of the party of sabotaging his efforts.
“We were waiting to see if the party at the national level governed by the constitution of the party would look into the provisions of that constitution and say that for engaging in anti-party activities openly, this is the sanction.
“We waited patiently for two years to see whether that would happen, instead of that, the same person was appointed Vice Chairman, Disciplinary Committee by the national,” he said.
Jandor, however, said he would consider joining any of the available parties to realise his 2027 governorship dream.
Speaking on his 2027 governorship ambition, he said, “We have chosen this path; we are not deviating. It is only God that can determine who and when. This is the path that we have chosen.”
Jandor said he has not met with Tinubu since he left the APC in 2022.
