2027 Governorship Will Be a Walkover for Me, Says Jandor, Citing Tinubu’s Backing

Olajide Adediran, also known as Jandor, is a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State. He has stated that, with President Bola Tinubu’s support, he will easily win the state’s 2027 governorship election.
The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) 2023 gubernatorial candidate, who just switched to the APC, reportedly made the comments on Thursday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

“I will support and advocate for whoever receives the APC gubernatorial ticket, regardless of my desire to become governor,” Jandor continued.

He stated: “If I have the strong support of Mr. President and the party in Lagos State, you cannot imagine what is going to happen this time.” It will be an easy win.

“I mean it without being disrespectful to anyone. As I have stated repeatedly, we will all support and advocate for the candidate that the party ultimately chooses.

As you are aware, I made a clever move during the party in 2021 and 2022. We’re not wired to act against the party, you know, and as soon as the party introduces someone, we’ll all follow suit.

Keep in mind that Jandor has announced his plan to run for governor in 2027.

In an interview with Vanguard on Thursday, Jandor denied rumors that former governor Akinwunmi Ambode and the president’s son Seyi Tinubu were other possible candidates.

He also promised to fully support President Bola Tinubu’s reelection campaign, saying the president deserved another term to build on his accomplishments and guide the nation to even greater heights.
