The Lagos State Governance Advisory Council (GAC) has officially welcomed Dr. Abdul-Azeez Adediran, populalrly known as Jandor, a former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Visioner of the Lagos4Lagos Movement, into the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Media Talk Africa recalls that Adediran, the 2023 Lagos State governorship candidate for PDP, defected to APC in March this year.
In a statement released by his spokesman, Pastor Gbenga Ogunleye, on Thursday in Lagos, Adediran expressed his appreciation for the warm reception he received from GAC members, led by Prince Tajudeen Olusi.
“In a significant show of unity and goodwill, Dr Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, Jandor, was warmly received by the Lagos State Governance Advisory Council (GAC) Chairman, Prince Tajudeen Olusi; Badagry Division Apex Leader of APC and fellow GAC member, Chief Rabiu Oluwa; Sen. Ganiu Olanrewaju Solomon; and Sen. Musiliu Obanikoro,” he said.
According to Adediran, the reception took place in Saudi Arabia.
“The meeting, which was held during the Umrah pilgrimage, served as a symbolic moment of engagement between key stakeholders in Lagos politics, emphasising the importance of unity.
“This encounter reflects a shared commitment to the progress and unity of Lagos State, underscoring the enduring values of collective responsibility and synergy in the furtherance of the vision of the ruling party,” Adediran added.
