Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2023, Dr. Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor has said that everything set to announce his next political move on Monday, March 17, 2025 after meeting President Bola Tinubu.
According to Jandor’s spokesperson, Gbenga Ogunleye, he confirmed over the weekend that his principal will address the press at Liberty Place, Adeniyi Jones Street, Ikeja, Lagos on Monday to disclose his next political steps.
This comes after a closed-door meeting between Jandor and President Bola Tinubu in Aso Rock, Abuja, last week, where undisclosed matters were discussed.
Prior to his meeting with Tinubu, Jandor also held talks with several political leaders, including: Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Former President Ibrahim Babangida, Former Head of State Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar and 2023 SDP Presidential Candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo
He described these meetings as part of Jandor’s ongoing political consultations following his exit from the PDP.
The National Secretary of the PDP and other party leaders had also reached out to Jandor, appealing for him to reconsider his resignation.
However, Ogunleye hinted at intense interest from major political parties, saying: “Overtures from major political interests are intense. Jandor cannot decide alone. The best decision will be made by the stakeholders this weekend.”
Jandor previously resigned from the PDP, citing: Indiscipline and anti-party activities, Betrayal by the party leadership on the eve of the Lagos governorship election and False claims of an alliance that misled PDP supporters into voting for another candidate
He particularly blamed PDP chieftain Chief Bode George for playing a significant role in his political struggles within the party.
With Monday’s announcement, Jandor is expected to reveal his new political platform ahead of the 2027 elections
