He reaffirmed his loyalty to the APC and to President Bola Tinubu, describing the President’s leadership as vital to the party’s stability and progress.
Adediran also disclosed that the position was finalised during a meeting in Abuja, where he aligned himself with the President’s stance on the Lagos governorship contest.
