The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) 2023 governorship candidate in Lagos State, Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has predicted a decisive victory for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
Jandor made the statement during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday.
According to him, despite the strong opposition Tinubu faced in 2023, including losing in his home state of Lagos to Labour Party’s Peter Obi, such political upsets will not reoccur in 2027.
“Remember, in 2023, Jandor and his Lagos for Lagos movement were outside, and this time, we are back inside,” he said. “So, it won’t be the same thing as what you witnessed in 2023.”
He added that Tinubu’s influence has grown nationally, suggesting an easy win not just in Lagos but across the country.
“2027, not only in Lagos but in the entire country, is going to be a walkover for the man whose courage has given us a lot in this country today,” he stated.
Tinubu won the fiercely contested 2023 presidential election, defeating PDP’s Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s Peter Obi, and other candidates. However, he lost Lagos State to Obi, a result seen as a significant symbolic blow at the time.
Jandor resigned from the PDP and returned to the APC in March, saying that he was rejoining a party that considers winning not minding who is on the ballot.
