Jandor Challenges Sanwo-Olu in Lagos 2027 Governorship Race

Abdul-Laze Olajid Adediran, referred to as Jandor, has taken a significant step in the political landscape of Lagos State by purchasing nomination forms to contest in the 2027 governorship elections. This move comes despite the endorsement of current Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat by the Governor's Advisory Council (GAC) as the consensus candidates for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Jandor's decision reflects his commitment to the party's internal democratic processes and his belief in the importance of participatory democracy. He expressed confidence that his approach would enhance party cohesion and give all members a sense of ownership in the emergence of candidates.

Furthermore, Jandor reaffirmed his respect and loyalty to the APC's national leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and acknowledged the guidance of distinguished elder statesmen within the party, which continues to shape the progressive ideals of the APC.
