A Governorship aspirant under the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), Lagos State, ahead of 2027 poll, Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly called Jandor has withdrawn from the race.
Penpushing reports that he was said to withdraw few hours after purchasing the Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms of the party, while it is recalled that he stated on Wednesday that his decision aligns with the party’s current official position favouring direct primaries for selecting candidates.
“In line with the official and current position of the party on direct primaries, I have taken the significant step of formally picking up my Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for the forthcoming elections,” he had earlier stated.
Penpushing further reports that he, however, acknowledged the endorsements of some party elders and leaders for other aspirants but stressed that he remains guided by the party’s communicated position on direct primaries to all members and aspirants.
The former Governorship candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who later cross carpeted to the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) however, pledged to align with any alternative arrangement the party may adopt.
“Should the party come up with the second option of nominating party candidates as enshrined in the Electoral Act 2026, I will surely align and respect the supremacy of the party,” Jandor added.
“I am also not unmindful of the fact that the trust of the people is neither given lightly nor sustained by rhetoric alone. It is earned through consistent engagement and an unshakable dedication to the common good,” he said.
