The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially welcomed Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, back into its ranks, along with his supporters.
Jandor, who contested as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in 2023, announced his return to the APC on Monday, March 17.
He had earlier resigned from the PDP on March 3, citing internal conflicts and a lack of discipline among its leadership as his reasons for leaving.
A former APC member and leader of the Lagos4Lagos Movement, Jandor had defected to the PDP in 2021 in pursuit of his governorship ambition.
