In the mosaic of Lagos politics\u2014a city both electrifying and unforgiving\u2014one name has begun to resonate with unmistakable strength: Jandor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This June 2025, Dr. Abdul\u2011Azeez Olajide Adediran \u2014known widely as Jandor \u2014 did something unmatched in recent Lagos political history: he personally funded and galvanized an Independent Campaign Group (ICG) that spans all 57 Local Governments and LCDAs, reaching into 377 wards, to support every APC Chairmanship and Councillorship candidate contesting the July council elections\u00a0 <\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Funding with Purpose. Representing Lagos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jandor\u2019s move was more than political strategy\u2014it was a public commitment to ensuring credible leadership at the grassroots. He declared:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have taken it upon myself to fund and mobilise this initiative because I believe in the future of our state and the strength of our people\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Across the 57 councils, Jandor\u2019s ICG did not discriminate\u2014it supported every APC candidate, regardless of prior affiliation, elevating the campaign as a symbol of unity and service over partisan allocation\u00a0 <\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Idea to Action: Door-to\u2011Door Mobilisation<\/span><\/p>\n

The structure was robust:<\/span><\/p>\n

24\u2011member state apex council,<\/span><\/p>\n

57 local government coordinators,<\/span><\/p>\n

377 ward leaders\u2014each leading teams of volunteers, community influencers, and youth mobilizers.<\/span><\/p>\n

These teams deployed a powerful, door\u2011to\u2011door campaign model\u2014visiting homes, educating voters, and amplifying APC\u2019s message of \u201ccontinuity, development, responsive leadership\u201d at the grassroots\u00a0 <\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Party Man Reborn<\/span><\/p>\n

Remarkably, Jandor\u2019s gesture came after he had returned to the APC in early 2025, following his 2023 governorship candidacy under the PDP. This initiative made clear his sincere reclamation of party loyalty\u2014and elevated him in the eyes of party stalwarts and grassroots leaders alike\u00a0 <\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Princess Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, Senior Special Assistant to the President on SDGs, hailed Jandor\u2019s dedication:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJandor is a party man… he doesn\u2019t wait for titles before acting. His efforts show true loyalty to the APC\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Impact Beyond Elections<\/span><\/p>\n

This campaign goes beyond mere votes. Jandor sees local government as the closest touchpoint of governance, instrumental in delivering essential services\u2014and an arena where credibility truly matters. By investing in 57 Chairmen and 377 Councillors, he planted seeds for accountable governance in every corner of Lagos\u00a0 <\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seeding the Dream of 2027<\/span><\/p>\n

As Lagos inches toward the 2027 governorship election, Jandor\u2019s grassroots tour de force reshapes perceptions:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2705 A leader who funds collective success from personal coffers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2705 A strategist who mobilizes Lagos’s entire grassroots engine.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2705 A visionary positioning Lagos for real, people\u2011centered leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lagos Reverberation<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJandor of Lagos\u201d is no hyperbole. In every LGA and LCDA, his campaign presence\u2014through team coordinators and volunteers\u2014declared a singular message: Lagos must work for the people.<\/span><\/p>\n

His investment of time, wealth, and morale into every corner of the state, combined with a unified, door\u2011to\u2011door mobilization system, has done more than support candidates. It has eulogized a movement, awakened new expectations, and established Jandor as the embodiment of trusted, service\u2011oriented politics.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the whispered greetings between voters and volunteers, in the coordinated walk-throughs of dusty wards, and in the recognition of his bold self\u2011funded initiative, Lagos sees a defining figure rising. When 2027 finally arrives, Lagos will know: this is the man who already delivered at the grassroots\u2014and now dreams of leading the state.<\/span><\/p>\n
