Ex-Lagos PDP Flagbearer Jandor Dumps Party
Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing internal sabotage and a lack of discipline within the party.
The former Lagos State governorship candidate made the announcement on Monday at a press briefing held at Liberty Place, Ikeja, where he was joined by a large group of supporters.
He expressed disappointment in the party’s leadership, both at the national and state levels, accusing them of failing to uphold democratic principles.

“I am here before you today with a heavy heart but a clear conscience. We have dedicated ourselves to the ideals of democracy, good governance, and a pursuit of a better Lagos.
“However, it has been found evident that the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, both at the national and state levels, has failed to uphold these principles,” he stated.
Jandor particularly blamed some party leaders, including former Deputy National Chairman, Chief Olabode George, for engaging in anti-party activities that worked against the PDP in the 2023 elections.
“The persistent anti-party activities, internal sabotage, and lack of discipline have led me and my supporters to leave,” he added.
Although he has not yet revealed his next political step, Jandor confirmed that consultations were ongoing to determine the best platform to align with.
“We will consult widely with everybody and then take the decision to collapse our structure to another platform. What is majority on the ground now is that we have left the Peoples Democratic Party,” he declared.
His resignation follows a longstanding rift with Bode George, who openly supported Labour Party’s Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour in the 2023 Lagos governorship election instead of backing the PDP’s candidate.
George recently defended his actions in a television interview, stating he had “no regret” for supporting a rival candidate.
In response, Jandor, through his campaign media team, accused George of habitually undermining PDP candidates in Lagos to the advantage of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“Chief George’s modus operandi during each election cycle is to attack the PDP candidate and destabilise the party, thus paving the way for the APC to remain in power,” a statement signed by Gbenga Ogunleye, Head of Media and Communications for the JANDOR4Governor Campaign Organisation, read.
Dismissing George’s justification, Jandor’s camp described his actions as a consistent pattern of betrayal.
“It is not surprising that Chief Bode George, as his usual practice, worked against the interest of the PDP again, but his attempt to blame the infighting in the party as an excuse and a justification for his action is a failed attempt to hide behind a finger,” the statement added.
The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, alongside his running mate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, will visit Benue State on Wednesday for a town hall meeting as part of efforts to promote their vision for a new Nigeria.
The meeting, scheduled for 10:00 a.m on Wednesday, will take place at Mission House, beside Benue Links Park, Wurukum, in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.

The visit is expected to provide an opportunity for the NDC presidential and vice-presidential candidates to engage residents of the state and communicate their political vision ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Announcing the visit, Obi described Benue as the Food Basket of the Nation and said the delegation was taking its message of a new Nigeria to the state.
“PO IN BENUE.
“We are taking the message of a New Nigeria to the Food Basket of the Nation today,” the announcement read.
The town hall meeting is part of the party’s political engagement activities as Obi and Kwankwaso seek to build support for their joint presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 elections.
