A former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos Jandor has returned to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Jandor whose real name is Abdul-Azeez Adediran announced his defection to the ruling APC in a press conference in Lagos today, about two weeks after he left the PDP.
He said the decision to join the political party that considers winning not minding who is on the ballot, reports Channels TV.
“We have decided to return to the All Progressives Congress, APC,” he said.
Jandor added, “Before you are quick to remind me of the reasons why I dumped APC, I want to say that there is a Yoruba adage that says, if a woman has not tried two husbands, she would not know which one is better”.
The politician had on March 3, 2025 dumped the PDP over what he described as anti-party activities of some leaders of the party in Lagos State.
“We were waiting to see if the party at the national level governed by the constitution of the party would look into the provisions of that constitution and say that for engaging in anti-party activities openly, this is the sanction.
“We waited patiently for two years to see whether that would happen, instead of that, the same person was appointed Vice Chairman, Disciplinary Committee by the national,” he said while resigning from the PDP.
After his public announcement over his decision to dump PDP, he met with President Bola Tinubu; former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, and other prominent political bigwigs in the country about a week ago.
Jandor’s political history started with the APC before he left the party with his Lagos4Lagos Movement, a group within the ruling party in 2022.
He joined the PDP before the 2023 election and emerged as the governorship candidate of the party in Lagos. But he lost to APC’s Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
