Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adeniran, popularly known as Jandor, has announced his return to the All Progressives Congress (APC) after a stint as the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) governorship candidate in Lagos.

Jandor revealed that his decision to rejoin the APC was influenced by the party’s capacity to win elections, which aligns with his vision for a greater and more prosperous Lagos. He emphasized that the primary reason a political party exists is to win elections and ultimately form the government to contribute to the welfare, security, and total development of the people.

The former PDP candidate praised the APC’s leader, noting that despite potential flaws in selection choices, the leader’s desire to always win for the party benefits all members, followers, and the state. This winning mentality, according to Jandor, is what sets the APC apart.

He said: “After extensive consultations with family, political associates, elder statesmen, supporters and well-meaning Lagosians who share our vision for a greater and more prosperous Lagos, and in identifying that the primary reason a political party exists is to win elections and ultimately form the government to contribute to the welfare, security and total development of the people.

“We wish to formally announce that we have decided to join a political party that considers winning for its members as top priority not minding who is on the ballot. 

“In APC, we have a leader, even if you fault his selection choices, you can’t fault his desire to always win for his party to the benefit of all members, followers and the state.”

Jandor’s return to the APC follows a series of meetings with prominent politicians, including President Bola Tinubu, and comes after he resigned from the PDP citing indiscipline and anti-party activities.
