Days after meeting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Olajide Adediran, popular as Jandor, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governorship Candidate at the 2023 Gubernatorial Election in Lagos is set to announce the new political Party he is joining on Monday 17th March, 2025.

Jandor dumped the PDP few weeks ago, 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 had particularly blamed former PDP Deputy National Chairman, Bode George for playing a significant role in his political struggles within the party.

Jandor’s spokesperson, Gbenga Ogunleye, confirmed over the weekend that he will address the Press at Liberty Place, Adeniyi Jones Street, Ikeja, Lagos, to disclose his next political steps.

Before meeting with President Tinubu at Aso Rock days ago, Jandor had met 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, before dumping the PDP weeks back.

According to Ogunleye, “Jandor has had meeting with several political leaders and stakeholders, these meetings are 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”.

Though, Ogunleye hinted that there have been 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 and he will unveil his political moves by Monday”, Ogunleye stated.
