The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, hosted Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, at his Ikeja GRA residence on Tuesday.
Jandor, who was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the 2023 elections, officially rejoined the APC in March.
Welcoming him, Obasa said:
“We are happy to have you back. This is a very good move. The APC is the only political platform that truly reflects the aspirations of Lagosians and Nigerians.”
The Speaker assured Jandor of full reintegration, emphasizing that the party’s inclusive structure provides the right platform for unity, collaboration, and development. He also praised Jandor for his courage and conviction in returning.
In response, Jandor expressed gratitude for the warm reception and pledged his commitment to strengthening the APC’s vision.
“It is only through unity of purpose, shared sacrifice, and responsible leadership that we can secure a brighter and more prosperous future for every Nigerian,” he said.
He further applauded President Bola Tinubu’s ongoing economic reforms, noting that although demanding, they are courageous steps toward re-engineering the nation’s economy and laying a firm foundation for long-term prosperity.

A group, the Imo First Group (IFG) has described the purported Magistrate court order to arrest Senator Ifeanyi Araraume and the former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, over alleged criminal conspiracy and forgery, as a ruse and fake news
The group stated this in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja.
IFG challenged those peddling the fake news to make the court order public.
The statement reads ” The fabricated and concocted story was first posted on social media by Hon. Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, a media aide to Governor Hope Uzodimma, before it was picked up by other media outfits, including Arise TV.
According to the statement, those behind the report claimed that a Senior Magistrate Court sitting in Abuja issued a Bench Warrant dated September 9, 2026, following a petition written by the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Imo State, Barr. Chukwuemeka Ibejiako, to the Police and DSS on October 8, 2026, over alleged presentation of fake APC primary results.
The Group debunked the existence of any such order.
“We want to state categorically and unequivocally that no jSenior Magistrate ordered or issued any bench warrant for the arrest of Araraume”
IFG however challenged anyone in possession of the purported court order to publish it.
“If you claim to have a court order present same for the public to see,
“This fabricated bench warrant contain in the report is filled with inconsistencies, the bench warrant was dated September 9, 2026, while the REC’s petition that supposedly triggered it was dated October 8, 2026, with case number CR/M/084/2026.
The statement further stated that the purveyors and harbinger of the fake news tried to trick the magistrate via exparte order but was rebuked
“The magistrate bluntly refused to grant their exparte and threatened to arrest them, yet they carried their falsehood about. What’s the problem of occupants of office that never won free and fair elections and tried to destroy reputable Imo sons that have won elections. We challenge anyone in this macabre surugede dance to show the court order or warrant of arrest. It’s preposterous to blackmail decent Imo sons on the altar of dirty politics.”
