Jandor to spring up surprise by visiting Tinubu, Atiku, others after dumping former party
Jandor will spring up surprise by visiting Tinubu, Atiku, others after dumping former party, PDP.
The 2023 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State, Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has met with President Bola Tinubu, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and others as part of his ongoing political consultations following his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party.
His spokesperson, Gbenga Ogunleye, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.
Ogunleye said the meeting with the President was held on Monday.
The statement read, “I can confirm that Dr Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran Jandor met with President Bola Tinubu on Monday.
“He has earlier met with Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former President Ibrahim Babangida, former Head of State, Gen. Abdusalami Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the SDP in the 2023 general elections, Prince Adewole Adebayo, among other prominent national leaders. It is part of his ongoing consultation after his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party.
“The National Secretary of the PDP and other leaders of the party also visited him recently to appeal for the reconsideration of his resignation from the PDP.
“Dr Adediran will meet with his political associates and critical stakeholders in Lagos over the weekend and address the media by Monday, 17th March 2025.”
Jandor, who did not declare his next move, had earlier resigned from the PDP, citing indiscipline and anti-party activities.
He accused the PDP national leadership of disappointing him on the eve of the state’s governorship election, stating that he would have won but for a false claim of alliance, which made the PDP supporters in Lagos vote for another candidate.
