19 February 2026

A former Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and leader of the Lagos4Lagos Movement, Dr Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has extended warm greetings to Muslim and Christian faithful across the state as the holy month of Ramadan begins and Christians observe Ash Wednesday, marking the commencement of the Lenten season.

Adediran who has declared his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in a statement signed by his Spokesperson, Gbenga Ogunleye described the period as a unique moment of deep spiritual reflection, sacrifice, and renewed devotion to God, noting that both observances emphasize values of humility, compassion, discipline, and service to humanity.

He urged Lagosians to use the sacred season to pray for peace, unity, and progress in the state, while encouraging acts of charity, tolerance, and mutual respect among people of all faiths.

"These solemn seasons remind us of our shared responsibility to build a more caring, just, and inclusive society. As we fast, pray, and reflect, let us recommit ourselves to the collective good and the vision of a continued prosperous and progressive Lagos for all," he said.

JANDOR wished all Muslim faithful a peaceful and spiritually rewarding Ramadan and prayed that the Lenten season would bring renewal and divine guidance to Christians across the state.
