Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor and leader of the Lagos4Lagos Movement, announces support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidates for Nigeria’s 2027 elections. He says his political structure will back both President Bola Tinubu for president and Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat for the Lagos governorship election.
Adediran makes the pledge after leading about 300 members of Lagos4Lagos to a campaign office in Ikeja associated with Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, director-general of Hamzat’s governorship campaign. The meeting focuses on integrating Lagos4Lagos into APC’s grassroots mobilisation network, including plans to work across polling units in Lagos. Adediran also explains that he withdraws from the APC governorship primary out of respect for Tinubu and other party leaders, and he frames Tinubu’s victory in Lagos as a key priority given the 2023 presidential outcome.
Across the coverage, the emphasis is on mobilisation and party alignment rather than policy differences. Obanikoro’s remarks highlight an inclusive campaign approach and voter turnout challenges from prior elections, while endorsing Hamzat’s candidacy and urging coordinated efforts to deliver Tinubu and Hamzat in 2027.
