In a surprising turn of events, Dr. Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, one of the governorship aspirants under the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, has officially announced his withdrawal from the 2027 elections.
Adediran made the announcement on Thursday during a media briefing at Liberty House, Adeniyi Jones Secretariat in Ikeja.
His decision comes days after President Bola Tinubu endorsed the incumbent Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr Obafemi Hamzat.
“Within hours after I purchased my nomination forms, there were developments, including a meeting involving the President and the Deputy Governor,” Jandor explained.
It was subsequently made known that the President had endorsed Dr Obafemi Hamzat.
“Based on my earlier position that I will align with the direction of the President, I have decided to withdraw from the race.”
