Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has said he is willing to support a consensus candidate if the All Progressives Congress (APC) adopts that option ahead of the 2027 Lagos governorship election.
In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Gbenga Ogunleye, Adediran dismissed speculations that the party leadership had already endorsed a preferred aspirant for the race, insisting that no such decision has been made.
“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,” the statement said.
While affirming his readiness to contest, Jandor noted that he would respect the party’s collective decision if a consensus arrangement is eventually adopted.
“This is a position anchored on his readiness to compete, and a willingness to submit to the collective will of the party,” the statement added.
He also said he remains actively involved in the race, strengthening grassroots structures and consulting widely with party members across Lagos.
Adediran cautioned party faithful against mistaking individual endorsements or campaign activities for the official stance of the party leadership.
“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,” the statement read.
