BREAKING: Jandor Set To Announce New Political Party After Meeting Tinubu

Jandor is reportedly set to announce his new political party after meeting President Tinubu.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Dr. Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, the 2023 Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is set to announce his next political move on Monday, March 17, 2025, following his resignation from the PDP.

 

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.

 

This comes after a closed-door meeting between Jandor and President Bola Tinubu in Aso Rock, Abuja, last week, where undisclosed matters were discussed.

Before meeting Tinubu, Jandor also held talks 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.

 

Ogunleye described these meetings as 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.

 

However, Ogunleye hinted at 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.”

 

Jandor previously resigned from the PDP, 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 particularly blamed PDP chieftain Chief Bode George for playing a significant role in his political struggles within the party.

 

With Monday’s announcement, Jandor is expected to reveal his new political platform ahead of the 2027 elections.
