Dr. Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, is set to announce his next political move on Monday, March 17, 2025, following his recent resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

According to his spokesperson, Gbenga Ogunleye, Jandor will address the press at Liberty Place, Adeniyi Jones Street, Ikeja, Lagos, where he is expected to outline his political future and potential alliances.

This development comes shortly after Jandor held a closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Although details of the meeting remain undisclosed, it has sparked intense political speculation about his next move.

Consultations intensify as Jandor prepares for 2027

Before meeting Tinubu, Jandor had engaged in a series of consultations with key 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.

According to Vanguard, Ogunleye described these meetings as part of Jandor’s strategic consultations following his exit from the PDP.

“Overtures from major political interests are intense. Jandor cannot decide alone.

The best decision will be made by the stakeholders this weekend,” he stateadord.

Reports suggest that major political parties have shown significant interest in Jandor, and discussions have been centered on finding the best path forward as the 2027 elections approach.

Meanwhile, PDP leaders have reached out to him, urging him to reconsider his resignation.

Despite this, Jandor seems determined to move forward and realign his political stance.

Why Jandor resigned from the PDP

Jandor’s resignation from the PDP came after citing several reasons, including indiscipline, anti-party activities, and betrayal by party leadership during the Lagos State governorship elections.

He specifically criticized the false claims of alliances that misled PDP supporters and accused Chief Bode George of contributing significantly to his political struggles within the party.

“Jandor felt betrayed by certain leaders within the party, especially in the lead-up to the governorship election. The lack of transparency and unity contributed to his decision to exit,” Ogunleye noted.

With Monday’s announcement, he is expected to reveal his new political platform and strategy for the 2027 elections.

His supporters and political observers alike are keen to know which path he will choose and how it will reshape the political landscape in Lagos and beyond.

For now, the political atmosphere remains tense, as stakeholders and citizens await Jandor’s much-anticipated declaration.
