OLAJIDE ADEDIRAN, founder Lagoa4Lagos Movement would tomorrow (Tuesday) switch from All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Adeniran's reported switch from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the PDP followed his recent criticisms of APC national leader and former Lagos governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who he claimed has been imposing non-Lagosians on the state.

Adediran, who also founded humanitarian platform Jandor Foundation, is an ally of Minister of Works and former Lagos governor Babajide Fashola, but is aggrieved over the conduct and results of APC’s local congresses.

He reportedly dumped the APC in 2021 and launched a ferocious media campaign against Tinubu.

Adediran, a Lagos-born journalist-turned-politician, nurses a gubernatorial ambition that has set him on a collision course with Tinubu who calls the shots politically in  Lagos State.

Olajude Adediran would be received into the PDP by Oyo’s Governor Seyi Makinde, some top PDP senators, and members of the House of Representatives.

The event would take place at Tafawa Balewa Square, Onikan, Lagos, on Tuesday, and would be hosted by Lagos PDP leader, Olubode George.

“The grand ceremony to officially receive Jandor into PDP will be coming up on Tuesday, it has not changed. The preparations have been concluded.

“Governor Makinde, as leader of the party in South-West, will be leading other party chieftains from across the region to receive him into PDP,” a member of the South-West caretaker committee of the PDP, Abayomi Kuye, said.
