LAGOS — The 2023 governorship candidate of the Labour Get together (LP) in Lagos State, Mr. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, yesterday, revealed that he obtained the approval of LP’s presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, earlier than becoming a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Talking on Channels Tv’s Sunday Politics, Rhodes-Vivour confused that Lagos can’t be “pocketed by one man.”
When requested if Obi accredited his transfer to ADC, he responded:
“Sure. Definitely. A consultant of his was on the declaration on Saturday. Peter Obi and I are speaking, we’re aligned. There isn’t any step I’m taking that he’s not conscious of. We now have all agreed that the one means for the opposition to have a profitable election is thru a coalition. No matter the place anyone could also be presently, we’re working in the direction of that purpose.”
On whether or not he might displace President Bola Tinubu’s political construction in Lagos, Rhodes-Vivour mentioned:
“I don’t imagine that Lagos belongs to at least one man. That’s the reason my motion is named Our Lagos. Lagos is our shared duty; it’s our residence. The concept that Lagos belongs to at least one man is one thing I fully reject. The concept that our commonwealth could be commandeered by one man for over 20 years is one thing I stand towards.
“It’s not about me; it’s concerning the individuals of Lagos and Nigeria. Take a look at Alimosho Native Authorities — the inside roads are horrible. As an alternative of fixing them, native authorities chairmen go round with policemen to stop the opposition from holding gatherings on Lion Discipline.
“In the event that they offered good governance, they wouldn’t be frightened concerning the opposition or resorting to violence and intimidation. Violence is the final refuge of politicians.”
