The Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in the 2023 election, Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has officially returned to the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC).
Adediran, who resigned his PDP membership along with his Lagos4Lagos Movement, disclosed this at a news conference in Ikeja, Lagos.
Adediran had on March 3 dumped PDP over what he described as anti-party activities of some leaders of the party in Lagos State.
After his public announcement over his decision to dump PDP, he had met with President Bola Tinubu, former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and other prominent political bigwigs in the country.
Announcing his retun to the ruling party, Adediran said: “We have decided to join the political party that considers winning not minding who is in the ballot.
“We have decided to return to the All Progressives Congress.
“Before you are quick to remind me of the reasons why I dumped APC, I want to say that there is a Yoruba adage that says, if a woman has not tried two husbands, she would not know which one is better.”
“Our return to the APC is not a decision made lightly.
“It is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to the progress of Lagos State and our belief that unity among progressives is essential to achieving the collective aspirations of our people.”
Adediran expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for recognising his team’s modest contributions to democracy and nation building.
Thefrontrank reports that Adediran, formerly of the Lagos APC, had on December 4, 2021 led other members of the Lagos4Lagos Movement to join the PDP.
