Former Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has rejoined the All Progressives Congress (APC), two weeks after announcing his departure from the PDP.

Jandor officially declared his return to the ruling party at a press conference in Lagos on Monday, citing his decision to align with a party that prioritizes electoral victory.

We have decided to return to the All Progressives Congress, APC,” he stated.

Addressing concerns about his initial departure from the APC, Jandor referenced a Yoruba proverb to justify his return.

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,” he explained.

His exit from the PDP on March 3, 2025, was attributed to internal party conflicts, particularly what he described as the failure of the national leadership to address anti-party activities by some Lagos PDP leaders.

“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 and see whether that would happen, instead of that, the same person was appointed Vice Chairman, Disciplinary Committee by the national,” he lamented at the time of his resignation.

Following his departure from the PDP, Jandor held discussions with key political figures, including President Bola Tinubu, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and other influential politicians.

Jandor’s political journey began within the APC before he left the party in 2022 with his Lagos4Lagos Movement, a faction within the APC, to join the PDP.

He later secured the PDP’s gubernatorial ticket for the 2023 elections but was defeated by APC’s Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
