Gbadebo-Rhodes-Vivour
Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party (LP) candidate in the 2023 Lagos governorship election has hinted at running again in 2027.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, he said he wouldn’t give up on actualising his ambition to be Lagos Governor.
He, however, didn’t indicate if he would still use the LP platform or contest under another political party.
In the 2023 election, Rhodes-Vivour secured 312,329 votes to place second behind the winner, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who got 762,134 votes.
“By God’s grace, yes,” he confirmed when asked if he would join the 2027 governorship race in Lagos State.
“I believe that if all parties do not come together, it is going to be a waste of time running in 2027 because there is a full state capture happening in this country now.
“We cannot afford for the opposition to be separate. For now, my job is to ensure that I have a strong party – Labour Party.”
