Jandor made this move two weeks after he resigned his membership with the PDP over the party’s unresolved internal crisis which has been plaguing the democratic body for some time.

The former gubernatorial candidate announced his defection during a press conference at his campaign office in Lagos on Monday.

According to Jandor, his decision to rejoin the APC was driven by his belief that the party is the best alternative to deliver good governance to Lagosians and Nigerians.

This move, he added comes after careful consideration and consultation with his political supporters and associates across Lagos State.

“We have decided to return to the All Progressives Congress, APC. Before you are quick to remind me of the reasons why I dumped APC, I want to say that there is a Yoruba adage that says, if a woman has not tried two husbands, she would not know which one is better, ”he said.

Chidari emerged speaker upon his nomination by the lawmaker representing Wudil constituency in the Assembly, Abdullahi Achika.

The House also elected the lawmaker representing Albasu constituency, Zubairu Masu, as Deputy speaker, Labaran Madari (Warawa constituency) as majority leader, and Abdullahi Yaryasa (Tudunwada) as deputy majority leader.

Gafasa and two other principal officers which include Kabiru Dashi, and his deputy, Tasiu Zabainawa, resigned their positions without reason.

He had conveyed his decision through a letter to the Clerk of the House, dated December 14.

Although no reason was given for the resignation, it was reportedly related to recent primaries of the ruling party in the state and the inability of the former speaker to demand payment of members allowances and other welfare packages from the executive arm of government.

The recent primaries of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) for the forthcoming local government elections in Kano caused disaffection among party leaders after some members accused the state government and the party leadership of perpetrating injustice in the exercise.

On February 13,  2020, the court nullified the election of Bayelsa State governor-elect, David Lyon, and his running mate, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, who were already preparing to be inaugurated.

A five-man panel of the apex court, led by Justice Mary Peter-Odili, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to the All Progressives Congress’ candidates who had been declared winners of the November 16, 2019 governorship election in the state.

Today, the apex court, in a seven-man panel of Justices headed by Justice Sylvester Ngwuta, dismissed the two different applications that sought to set aside the judgment it delivered against Lyon and his deputy on February 13.

In the lead verdict that was delivered by Justice Amina Augie, the apex court described the fresh applications that were filed by Lyon and his deputy, as well as the All Progressive Congress, APC, as “highly vexatious, frivolous and gross abuse of the judicial process”.
