Jandor Withdraws from Lagos 2027 Governorship Race

Abdul Azeez Adediran, widely recognized as Jandor, has officially withdrawn from the Lagos 2027 governorship race under the All Progressives Congress (APC). This significant development comes as Jandor confirmed his decision to step down from the contest, which he had recently entered after defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

His withdrawal is reportedly influenced by the current political landscape, including the preference for a consensus candidate by the APC's advisory council, which includes Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat and former Governor Bola Tinubu. Although Jandor did not provide detailed reasons for his withdrawal, political observers suggest that the emergence of a consensus candidate may have played a crucial role in his decision.

As of the time of this report, further details regarding Jandor's next political steps remain unclear.
