Jandor meets Lagos GAC leaders as 2027 governorship race heats up

APC governorship aspirant Jandor met with Lagos State Governance Advisory Council members including chairman Tajudeen Olusi, Cardinal James Odumbaku, former Speaker Sabit Ikuforiji, and chieftain Monsuru Batola as part of his consultations ahead of the 2027 primaries. The meetings follow similar engagements by Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat with GAC members days earlier.

Jandor's spokesperson said the engagements aim to deepen consultations, foster consensus, and strengthen cohesion across party structures. The aspirant has directed leaders across Lagos State's 377 wards and 13,326 polling units to commence grassroots mobilisation aimed at rallying support. He's adopting a dual approach combining high-level party leader meetings with direct outreach to rank-and-file members.

Jandor reiterated his commitment to APC discipline and unity, acknowledging the GAC's pivotal role in shaping Lagos State party direction. He expressed readiness to align with party leadership decisions and work collaboratively with all stakeholders. These developments highlight the intensifying competition within Lagos APC as multiple aspirants position themselves for the 2027 governorship ticket.

For Lagos residents interested in the state's political future, this signals where to watch for indications of party preferences as the primary process unfolds over the coming months.
