Ogunleye emphasized that Jandor’s pilgrimage during the holy month of Ramadan reflects his deep commitment to faith and his continuous prayers for peace and progress in Lagos State and the country.
“The pilgrimage, especially during Ramadan, is a time for seeking divine intervention for peace and blessings.
“It underscores his dedication to unity, justice, and inclusive governance,” Ogunleye added.
“During his time in Mecca, Jandor has prayed for divine guidance and wisdom for Nigeria’s leaders, the security of Lagosians, and the overall development of the state and nation.
Expressing his heartfelt hopes, he said, “I have taken this spiritual exercise as an opportunity to seek God’s intervention for our dear Lagos State and Nigeria.
I believe that with faith, unity, and genuine love for our country, we can overcome our challenges and build a better future for all.”
In a notable political shift, Jandor officially announced his return to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on March 17, 2025.
This decision came ahead of the 2027 general elections and followed Jandor’s resignation from the PDP on March 3, 2025, citing concerns over indiscipline, anti-party activities, and alleged betrayal by the PDP leadership during the 2023 Lagos governorship election.
