A coalition called the JAGABAN-JANDOR 2027 Movement has launched a fundraising initiative to raise the N50 million required to purchase the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship nomination form for Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran (Jandor) ahead of the party's primaries in Lagos State. The Central Coordinator, Funke Ijayekunle, announced the stakeholder funding drive at a news conference on Wednesday in Ikeja. She stated the move reflects a collective commitment to Jandor's leadership, describing it as strategic, symbolic, and driven by grassroots support. According to Ijayekunle, the initiative began receiving responses from supporters across Lagos, particularly young residents, within hours of its launch on Thursday between 10:00 a.m. and the time of her statement.
Ijayekunle said thousands of members have pledged resources, framing the effort as active investment rather than passive backing. The movement has established a 2,690-member campaign committee spanning all 245 wards and 20 local government areas in Lagos. She emphasized that the structure is functional, not symbolic, and is already mobilizing support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027. Transparency and accountability, she added, will guide the fundraising process. Movement secretary Khairat Ojikutu described Jandor as a tested and "sellable product" the people would be proud to vote for. Youth leader Suleiman Adisa said the youth wing is actively mobilizing behind Jandor, citing his belief in young people and strong passion for change.
The JAGABAN-JANDOR 2027 Movement claims to be a people-driven project, yet it centers around a single aspirant with a pre-built 2,690-member committee before voting begins. This scale of organization before the primaries suggests influence beyond spontaneous grassroots energy. If the movement is already this structured, the pledge of N50 million from small contributors may not reflect the full financial picture. Ordinary Lagosians are left wondering how much say they truly have in a process that appears pre-arranged.
