A Lagos State governorship aspirant, under the All Progressives Congress (APC) Olajide Adediran, popularly know as Jandor had promised to align with any decision the party’s leaders adopt to pick a candidate for the governorship election of 2027.
He said “should our leader and the leadership resolve to adopt a consensus candidacy, JANDOR will fully align with that decision, irrespective of who emerges.”
He stated this in a statement released on Saturday by his spokesman, Gbenga Ogunleye.
He dismissed speculations making the round that a preferred candidate had already been endorsed by party leaders and chieftains ahead of the primary slated for next month.
The statement read in part, “We note the ongoing speculations alleging that a preferred aspirant has been anointed for our party, the 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.”
He said he is firmly committed to the process and is preparing accordingly, engaging party members and strengthening his grassroots structures, while he remained guided by party discipline.
Adediran, therefore, urged 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 the Leader.
“When the party and our Leader speak, I am sure no one will do otherwise,” he stated.
