Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has hailed the return of former Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, to the All Progressives Congress, describing it as a major boost for the ruling party in Lagos.
Obasa, who hosted Jandor on Tuesday at his official residence in Ikeja GRA, expressed excitement over the development, noting that the APC remains the political platform that truly reflects the aspirations of Lagosians.
“We are happy to have you back. This is a very good move,” Obasa said, assuring Jandor of full reintegration and collaboration in the party’s collective pursuit of good governance.
The Speaker praised Jandor for what he described as courage and conviction, stressing that the APC’s inclusive structure provides the right platform for unity and development.
In his remarks, Jandor thanked Obasa for the warm reception and pledged his commitment to working with the APC for the benefit of Lagos State and Nigeria.
He also lauded President Bola Tinubu’s recent tax reforms, describing them as bold steps taken in the interest of the people despite opposition.
“It takes courage and leadership to introduce such reforms in the face of resistance. The President has once again demonstrated his resolve to put the people first,” Jandor said.
Both leaders concluded the meeting with a pledge to work together to strengthen the APC and enhance the welfare of Lagosians.
Jandor had in March, officially announced his return to the APC after resigning from the PDP, citing indiscipline and widespread anti-party activities as reasons for his exit.
He has, however, come under fire following his return to the APC.
The Deputy Chairman of the PDP in Lagos, Tai Benedict, said Jandor was allegedly planted by the APC to destabilise the PDP.
