A former Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party during the 2023 general election, Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has dumped the party.

He announced his resignation at a press briefing held at Liberty Place, Ikeja, in Lagos on Monday.

He said his reasons for leaving the party are not unconnected to indiscipline and anti-party activities, which have become the norm in his erstwhile party.

Adediran, accompanied by a large group of supporters revealed that the decision to part ways with the PDP stemmed from actions taken by some of the party’s leaders, including the former Deputy National Chairman, Chief Olabode George.

According to Jandor, these leaders actively worked against the PDP in the 2023 elections.

“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,” Jandor stated.
