A former Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has announced his defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Jandor’s defection to the APC comes just two weeks after he resigned from the PDP.
The former Lagos PDP chieftain formally announced his defection at a press conference at his campaign office in Ikeja on Monday.
Jandor had recently held consultations with President Bola Tinubu, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and other political figures following his resignation from the PDP.
His spokesperson, Gbenga Ogunleye, confirmed in a statement last Thursday that the meeting with the President took place on Monday.
