The Lagos State 2023 Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Abdul-Azeez Adediran, a.k.a. Jandor, says his ambition to become the next governor of the state is driven by a desire further to promote inclusive governance and development in the state.
The Lead Visioner of the Lagos4Lagos Movement made this disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday.
Jandor said his aspiration is not merely about ambition but about articulating a shared vision for the future of Lagos.
“It is about stewardship, about building a Lagos where opportunity, innovation, and prosperity are accessible to all,” Adediran said.
He added that he is eyeing Gov Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s seat to further strengthen accountability, transparency, and service delivery, stressing that he was a firm believer in party supremacy and would subordinate his aspiration to the party’s decisions for 2027.
According to him, his team will be working tirelessly to ensure that the APC not only succeeds electorally but also delivers meaningfully for the people of Lagos.
“Today, we are in APC and we are happy to return home where we belong. In 2023, I ran for the topmost office in the state.
“I was on the ballot, not an accidental candidate. I picked the ticket to be governor in 2023 of a major political party, which is the PDP, and we have not departed from that path.
“I am also here in APC to continue where we stopped. I am running. I’m running in 2027 for governorship in Lagos state.
“We will subject ourselves to the internal democracy of the party in APC, and whatever the party decides, we’re going to work for the party. I am running for governor of Lagos state in 2027 under APC,” he added.
