The Lagos State Governance Advisory Council (GAC) has formally welcomed Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, into the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Jandor, who was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate in the 2023 Lagos election and the convener of the Lagos4Lagos Movement, has now aligned with the ruling party.
His move to the APC was confirmed in a statement issued by his media aide, Pastor Gbenga Ogunleye, on Thursday. Jandor expressed deep gratitude for the warm welcome he received from key figures within the GAC, led by Prince Tajudeen Olusi.
