Speaking at the launch of the group in his office in Lagos, Adediran said, “Nobody will underrate our resolve in the grassroots lockdown in the state again, and we have got it forever. Within 48 hours, you turned out massively like this. Talking about 2027, nobody can fault you for having ambition. For expressing your 2027 ambition in Jandor, nobody can fault you. Our president, nobody gave him the chance, and he stood up and said ‘Emilokan’, and he got it when nobody gave him a chance.

“On October 1st this year, I declared my ambition again for the governorship. We put the structure today for one purpose: for the victory of the APC in Lagos in 2027, irrespective of who is on the ballot and, by extension, the success of our leader’s second term in 2027.”

Jandor said the non-Yoruba speaking in Lagos has always been in the Lagos4Lagos, “we have a structure of not just the entire Ndigbo, but the structure of Igbo-dominated markets. We are going to work together for the success of Lagos State and, by extension, for President Tinubu’s second term.

“We are not doing it in isolation from the party in Lagos. I spoke to the state chairman yesterday, and he promised to send a youth leader to represent him,” he said.

He also pointed out that the 15 per cent tariff imposed by President Tinubu on imported fuel remains the best option for growing the local economy, adding that it would reduce pressure on the forex.

Also speaking at the occasion, a leader of the Lagos4Lagos apex from Kosofe, Shakirudeen Ola Apena, said, “This is a journey that would take us to Alausa in 2027; it’s a journey of the reelection of our leader, the Jagaban, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in 2027. Nobody will be forgotten.

“Everyone will be rewarded under the administration of Dr Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran.”

The leader of the Ndigbo in the state, Chief Dr Jonathan Nnaji, added that, “Jandor is a man who sets a clear vision and takes tough decisions.

“If you give Nigeria to Jandor, he will run it well. By the time he finishes with Lagos, people will be begging him to come and take over Nigeria.”
