Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Tuesday, hosted Olajide Adediran, popularly called Jandor, at the Lagos State Governor’s Office, Alausa, Ikeja, with high commendations for the guest.

The meeting marks a significant political moment as Sanwo-Olu formally welcomed back Jandor, a former Lagos State Gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2023 polls, to the All Progressives Congress, APC, commending his decision to realign with the party’s progressive ideals and contribute to the continued development of Lagos State.

In his remarks during the meeting, Sanwo-Olu expressed his excitement about his return, describing himself as a talented practical politician who, through his doggedness and clarity of vision, upended the political terrain in the state.

According to Sanwo-Olu, “I am pleased to receive JANDOR today and to welcome him back to the APC family. Lagos belongs to all of us, and I respect him for his willingness to change the status quo.

“It is heartening to see leaders who are passionate about the state’s progress reunite for the greater good,” Governor Sanwo-Olu stated.

“We look forward to meaningful collaboration as we continue working to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people of Lagos.”

The Governor stressed that the APC remains committed to accommodating diverse voices and talents within its fold and noted that Jandor’s return adds value to the party’s renewed vision for inclusive governance.

Earlier, Adediran appreciated Governor Sanwo-Olu for his magnanimity and candour in politics and governance.

He assured him of the total support of the Lagos4Lagos Movement in achieving President Bola Tinubu’s reelection and ensuring the sustained implementation of his well-intended reform programmes.

Jandor promised to align with government programmes and projects to ensure that the state’s people continue to enjoy the dividends of good governance.
