@officialjandor Did you pay for the form and will now get a refund?

30th April 2026. I address you today with a deep sense of responsibility and clarity of purpose regarding the future of our party and our dear state, Lagos. A few days ago, I took a decisive step in line with my aspiration to serve by procuring the Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for the 2027 Lagos State gubernatorial election under the platform of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). That step was driven by conviction, consultation, and a genuine desire to contribute to the progress of our state. However, leadership also demands the capacity to make difficult but necessary decisions that prioritize collective interest above personal ambition. Following the endorsement of Dr. Kadiri Hamzat by our Leader, the President of Nigeria, and Leaders of our party in Lagos, and in recognition of the prevailing realities within the political landscape of our great party, I have decided to withdraw from the 2027 Lagos State gubernatorial race. This decision is not borne out of weakness or a lack of capacity, but out of strength, discipline, and a deep respect for party cohesion and unity. Let me be unequivocal: I remain a loyal and committed member of the APC. I also reaffirm my unalloyed loyalty and respect for the President and national leader of our party, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. His leadership remains central to the stability and progress of our party and the nation at large. In line with this, I hereby fully align myself with the position and direction of Mr. President regarding the Lagos State gubernatorial process. Party supremacy and strategic alignment are critical to sustaining the gains we have collectively built over the years. To the Lagos4Lagos Movement, I extend my profound gratitude. This movement has never been about one individual; it has always been about a cause, equity, inclusion, and a better Lagos for all. That cause remains alive, and it must now find expression in our collective support for the party’s chosen direction. I urge all our supporters, leaders, and stakeholders to remain calm, focused, and committed. This is a moment to consolidate, not to divide; to build, not to fracture. Politics is a continuum. Today’s decision is part of a larger journey of service, and I remain fully committed to contributing meaningfully to the growth of our party and the development of Lagos State. To the media, I thank you for your professionalism and continued engagement. To our supporters across the state, your loyalty and belief have been humbling. I do not take it for granted. Together, we will continue to work for the progress of Lagos and the success of our great party. Thank you. God bless the Lagos4Lagos Movement. God bless the All Progressives Congress. And God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran JANDOR

@daretanko @marcportermagee @JustAFamilyMan_ Good point. My thought as well. However, i'm less surprised because economic outcomes go beyond just educational attainment only. There are several other variables to consider. One very strong indicator would be social capital. I did a research about this in Britain.

@marcportermagee @ebenaguda @JustAFamilyMan_ Huh, so the whites still outearn the most educated..... 🤷

“the group that stands out the most is second-generation Nigerian Americans. Their educational attainment exceeds all other racial/ethnic groups, including Asian Americans”

Lol. The battle of accents and knowledge of a foreign language. Shame!

It's simply a real life ratatouille show now.

@AfobajeII AI helping out with the assessment. Looks normal in today's world lol.

Saw this ad on the tube. It appears to okay self diagnosis. What does "AI enhanced assessment" mean? This is scary.

The summary of life. Be grateful!🙏

@SkyFootball No TAA, no Sancho?

Tuchel names his 35-man England squad for internationals with Uruguay and Japan 🦁

😂😂

Nor vex guy. I will speak with president bat

Bwala does not agree with Bwala's words. Lol ...

@ruffydfire He's not a white man and in fact, being white doesn't translate to better. However, he is more exposed and obviously bigger in terms of profile. That said, you're right about people criticizing you unnecessarily for your style of journalism.

To a lot of people, Medhi can hold politicians accountable because he’s a white man, but a lot of Nigerians are not wired to see a black man like Rufai holding politicians accountable. Today, when Rufai said, “Don’t interrupt me” to a white man, they lost their minds because of colonialism. How dare Rufai say to a white man, “Don’t interrupt me”? So to them, he must be rude, especially when the white man is from a nation that Christianity has taught them to worship! The problem with Nigerians is in their heads. It will take years to change!

How can you be proud of your hurrible performance at an interview? 😅

This is a wild and dodgy conspiracy theory. He makes it sound like they used the visa program to disrupt the Nigerian policy, bit what about other nationals who benefited immensely from the same program? It was simply to help their economy at the time. End!

Wow. Agreed! That's surprising for superbowl lol

@OurFavOnlineDoc What an unfortunate incidence. I agree with the healthcare part, but based on the UK stat, the UK does not have as much snakes like Nigeria. I'm curious to know Australia's stat.

This is a young rising musical star whose life was tragically cut short by a snake bite yesterday morning. A snake bite. The last time someone died from a snakebite in uk was 50years ago. In the last 145 years, less than 15 people died from snake bite in uk. Just read that again and soak it in. NO snakebite deaths in 50years. Why should snakebite kill someone if we have quality medical care, reliable anti venom and emergency medical care? If only. But when we raise an alarm about the abysmal state of healthcare in Nigeria and the visible absence of emergency lifesaving services when needed, the satanic online slaves of the cursed APC government will start convulsing and crying. May God console this young woman’s family at this tough time. This is another tragic example of Nigeria failing its young people.

👏

Totally agree. The future is determined by the work being put in now. These folks are very intentional with foundational work.

@FinPlanKaluAja1 And has the next US government promised Canada anything for them to wait for Trump's tenure to be over before putting their country first?

China will dump its exports on you I get it, you are mad with Trump, but Trump will be gone in three years You do far more trade with the State of Washington than with China. Diversification is good, but don't go chasing pennies with pounds.

I'm in support of opening up the automotive market. The market will find its balance eventually. UK/Europe is doing the same while their local products are still sold anyways. This will simply create competition which is very much needed due to unreasonably high car prices.
