Abdulazeez Adediran, the former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, has commended President Bola Tinubu for implementing economic policies that have “facilitated easier access to funds at the local government level”.
Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, spoke after a meeting with Tinubu in his Lagos residence.
“I had the privilege of conferring with Mr President during his Christmas holiday in Lagos during which we had an insightful discussion,” Adediran said.
“His perspective was invaluable as he expressed the need for continued alignment of vision between the Centre and the component States.”

Jandor, now an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, said he informed Tinubu about the 100-day achievements of LG administrations in Lagos, and how they are utilising federal allocation.
“Having participated in some of our Local Governments’ 100-day celebration, I reported to Mr. President the efforts our Local Government administrations in Lagos State are making with the resources released to them from the federation account,” he said.

“Local Governments in Lagos now commission roads, health centres, customary courts, and other developmental projects in just 100 days in office.
“I appreciated him for implementing courageous economic policies and accountability that made it easy for governments at the grassroots to have access to more funds.”
In October, Jandor, who came a distant third in the last Lagos state governorship election, announced his intention to contest the seat again in 2027.
The former gubernatorial candidate also predicted a decisive victory for Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, citing the expansion of the president’s political influence.
