Jandor Dumps PDP, Returns to APC – A Lesson in Political Opportunism

Jandor Dumps PDP, Returns to APC – A Lesson in Political Opportunism
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Dr. Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has officially dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and returned to the All Progressives Congress (APC). His defection was announced at a press conference in Ikeja, Lagos, weeks after he resigned from the PDP.

According to Jandor, the decision to leave PDP was due to internal crises, lack of party discipline, and the party’s failure to address anti-party activities during the 2023 elections.

Jandor Dumps PDP, Returns to APC – A Lesson in Political Opportunism

Jandor stated, “Our story in the PDP was a case of working with perennial political saboteurs, but we have resolved to love our future much more than we hate our past.”

His words suggest that PDP’s leadership is incapable of maintaining party unity, but one could argue that his move is nothing more than political convenience. If PDP had handed him an election victory, would he still be talking about internal crises?

A Political ‘Homecoming’ or Just Another Strategic Move?

Jandor claims that his decision to return to APC was not made in haste. He consulted widely with political associates, supporters, and even members of other parties, including the Social Democratic Party (SDP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), and Young Progressive Party (YPP). But in the end, he chose to return to APC, the same party he once criticized.

He defended his decision with a Yoruba proverb: “If a woman has not tried two husbands, she probably would not know which is better.” In other words, PDP was an experiment that failed, and now he’s back to where he believes he belongs. But what does this say about Nigerian politicians? They move from one party to another, not based on ideology, but on political survival and personal gain.

Political Survival Over Principles

Jandor’s return to APC was not without external influence. He acknowledged that President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, and Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, played a role in persuading him to come back. According to him, the President’s son personally called him after his resignation from PDP, urging him to return “home.”

It’s clear that APC wanted Jandor back, but what’s in it for him? He assured his supporters that his move was in Lagos’ best interest, urging them to follow him in this new political chapter. But should Lagosians trust politicians who switch sides so easily?

Politics or Prostitution?

Let’s be honest, Nigerian politics is like prostitution. Politicians are never satisfied with one party, so they jump to the next one to curry favors and secure their political future. Jandor’s defection is just one of many, and as we approach the 2027 elections, the trend will only continue.

Political ideologies mean nothing in Nigeria; loyalty is only to personal ambition. Today, Jandor is back in APC, tomorrow, who knows? If things don’t go his way, will he return to PDP or try another platform? At this point, Nigerian politicians have turned defections into a political strategy rather than a sign of true conviction.

With all the back-and-forth, one thing is clear—2027 will be a chaotic election year.
