A viral video has captured an emotional moment after Lagos politician Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, announced he is stepping down from the governorship race.
In the clip, a woman is seen breaking down in tears shortly after the announcement, sparking reactions across social media.
Jandor confirmed that his decision was to align with the choice of Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
“Tell everybody that we didn’t just say it, we meant it… this is our decision,” he said.
He also revealed that the party would now support the candidate endorsed by the president, stressing the need for unity and loyalty within the party.
The emotional reaction in the video has since triggered conversations online, with many Nigerians debating the political move and what it means for Lagos politics.
While some see it as party discipline, others believe it raises questions about internal democracy and supporters’ expectations.
