We note the ongoing speculations alleging that a preferred aspirant has been anointed for our party, the All Progressive Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 Lagos governorship election.

We restate, in line with the official position of the Lagos State APC leadership as communicated by the State Chairman, that no aspirant has been anointed and that all aspirants will participate in a credible primary election.

Dr. Adediran is firmly committed to this process and is preparing accordingly, engaging party members and strengthening his grassroots structures.

At the same time, he remains guided by party discipline. Should our leader and the leadership resolve to adopt a consensus candidacy, JANDOR will fully align with that decision, irrespective of who emerges.

This is a position anchored on his readiness to compete, and a willingness to submit to the collective will of the party.

Jandor urges party members not to mistake a campaign by an individual or a political group for their choice aspirant as the party position or that of our Leader. “When the party and our Leader speak, I am sure no one will do otherwise”.

Signed:

Gbenga Ogunleye
Spokesperson
Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran JANDOR
2027 Lagos APC Governorship Aspirant
