The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) 2023 governorship candidate in Lagos State, Abdul-Azeez Adediran, widely known as Jandor, has predicted that President Bola Tinubu will secure a landslide victory in the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Jandor, who defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) earlier this year, said the political surprises of 2023 would not be repeated.
“Remember, in 2023, Jandor and his Lagos for Lagos movement were outside, and this time, we are back inside. So, it won’t be the same thing as what you witnessed in 2023,” he said.
He stressed that Tinubu’s political influence has grown beyond Lagos, positioning him for a decisive nationwide win in 2027.
“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 declared.
Jandor, who officially rejoined the APC in March, also reaffirmed his ambition to contest the Lagos governorship in 2027.
“There is no vacancy in Aso Rock till 2031, so for Jandor, I am running in 2027 and I have so declared,” he said.
On speculation that President Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, may enter the Lagos governorship race, Jandor said the younger Tinubu had the right to contest and that he would support him if chosen by the party.

Jandor, the PDP’s 2023 Lagos governorship candidate who has since defected to the APC, declared that President Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 would be “a walkover.”
He also confirmed his own bid for Lagos governorship in 2027 and welcomed the possibility of Seyi Tinubu joining the race.
