Former governorship candidate, Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran (Jandor) and Chief Mrs. Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, Iyaloja-General and daughter of President Bola Tinubu, has emphasised the need to prioritise unity and progress of Nigeria.
They stated this during a meeting held in the holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday.
The meeting provided an opportunity for both figures to exchange pleasantries and discuss matters of mutual interest, particularly the importance of unity, peace, and service to humanity.
Jandor, a prominent politician and former governorship candidate in Lagos, expressed his gratitude for the warm reception and used the occasion to pray for the success of President Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope” agenda.
Their encounter in Mecca, a place of deep spiritual significance, highlights a shared commitment to fostering harmony and collective progress, regardless of political differences.
While details of their discussions were not fully disclosed, sources say the meeting reflects ongoing engagements among political stakeholders aimed at strengthening relationships for national development.
Jandor’s visit to Mecca comes at a time of increasing political realignments in Lagos and beyond, fueling speculations about potential collaborations ahead of future elections.
Observers note that his interaction with Tinubu-Ojo, a key figure in the Lagos market leadership, could have implications for political dynamics in the state.
The meeting also underscores the significance of religious pilgrimages as avenues for fostering dialogue and strengthening ties among political and business leaders.
Jandor, in his statement, reaffirmed his commitment to the well-being of Nigerians and the pursuit of policies that promote inclusivity and development.
With this high-profile engagement in Mecca, political watchers will be keen to see if the meeting signals a shift in alliances or simply reflects a moment of spiritual and national reflection.
