JUST IN; Lagos Guber Candidate Rhodes-Vivour dumps Labour Party
Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate in the 2023 Lagos State election, has announced his defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Rhodes-Vivour, who was defeated by incumbent Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), made the announcement at an event in Lagos on Saturday.
He described his move to the ADC as part of a “broader coalition” aimed at uniting various political groups.
He stated: “I am happy to become part of this family. I’m looking forward to the union and governance that this party will bring to Nigerians.
“My prayer is that God will grant our leaders and the party’s structure the wisdom to come together and define a new path for our beloved country.”
Rhodes-Vivour also called for unity among opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general election, saying: “This is a coalition that is meant to rescue Nigeria.
“I have said since after the 2023 elections that we cannot afford to divide the opposition going into the next election. We must come together, united through a robust coalition that will stand a chance in 2027 to deliver this country.”
