Ideally, democracy is meant to be a government of the people by the people for the people, but it has been twisted to be a contrary experience in Lagos State. For so long, the politics of Lagos State has always supported and benefitted only the privileged politicians, the elites, the hanger-ons, the henchmen of politicians, the ruthless enforcers, the transport unions officials, the market women officials and others at the expense of the people.


By and large, the popular political system called ‘state capture’ is the predominant behind-the-scene hand of treachery that controls the levers of economic and political power in Lagos State, while marginalising the less privileged and leaving the general average hardworking Lagosians to scramble for crumbs of survival. Thus, our state has been captured for the private benefits of less than 1 percent of the citizens of the state while 99 percent suffer from the huge infrastructure failure and large scale corruption of the APC government.


Today, as a result of the lopsided, exclusive, corrupt character of government in Lagos State, many questions are begging for answers. How many Lagosians have access to good healthcare services, potable water and affordable housing? How many low-cost houses were built by the APC government in the last 20 years for Lagosians? Perhaps the government built at best 30,000 units for over 20 million struggling tax-paying citizens of the state! Still, how many of our people are gainfully and productively employed? How many new jobs were created directly and indirectly by the state government in the last 20 years? Quite insignificant!


As the grim realities of misrule grind on Lagosians year after year, many are still living in the squalid and poverty-ridden areas of Ajegunle, Okokomaiko, Badagry, Ikorodu, Epe, Alimosho, Lagos Island, Lekki, Bariga, Shomolu, Ketu, Ojo and so on. The sadder reality is that most of the people living in such slum conditions have no hope in the next 50 years of being pulled out of poverty as they continue to suffer acute lack of electricity, potable water, decent accommodation, health and education facilities, gainful jobs and more, due their total oppression by the political elites.


So, right-thinking stakeholders are now asking: where are the so-called acclaimed massive developmental projects being trumpeted by the APC government to deceive voters for a second term when life still is short, hard and brutish in the state for most residents? Curiously, in this same ‘centre of excellence’, consultants to the state government collect over 50 billion naira annually in various commissions for taxes and other levies collected on behalf of the state. Multiple taxation that kills businesses is the order of the day, with all kangaroo kinds of consultants such as in inland revenue, tenement rates, land use charge, advert isement, telecom infrastructure, power infrastructure approvals, building permits, fund raising, markets, abattoir and transport unions all oppressing and fleecing Lagosians of their hard earned income. But where is all the money going into? Where is accountability for our commonwealth? Isn’t it time Lagosians woke up and demand concrete answers as the next elections approach fast?


The Labour Party governorship team of Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV) and his Deputy is firmly of the view that in every four years of an APC government, over N100 billion is frittered away in special fees payable to consultants and other politically backed rent seekers. When this is coupled with an over bloated and corrupt contracting process, inflated figures by various ministries, plus the state capture by the political leader, his agents and government officials of the land assets of the state, it can be boldly affirmed that over two trillion Naira has been wasted and diverted to some people’s pockets in the last twenty years of the APC government. That is the same massive amount of money that would have helped provide educational scholarships, world-class healthcare, affordable houses, potable water and the creation of millions of jobs for the most disadvantaged, marginalized people of the state.

However, all hope is not lost. That is why GRV’s message is that Lagosians must take their fate in their hands and seize their chance in 2023! We have been taken for a ride for too long. If elected, the GRV government will declare within its first few days of office a total war on poverty. Our focus will be to create a good life and living for the lowest income earning Lagosians and others. We will improve access to quality education, quality healthcare, clean water, affordable housing and so on. We will set up and finance skill acquisition centers for ICT in high-demand jobs and training for at least 2 million people in all the local government areas in the state, in disciplines such as fintech, programming, cybersecurity, gaming technology, data analytics, online marketing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc.


Also, we will deal with the miserable traffic situation by building efficient road and water transportation networks all over the state. In all, we will definitely block all leakages, rent seeking, corrupt diversion of our commonwealth, terminate all evil consulting agreements of the APC collaborators and recover our commonwealth for the entire benefits of Lagosians. We will fight the evil extortion of our traders, drivers, market women etc. Major focus of GRV administration will be on catering to a better life for artisans, lower cadre civil servants, lower cadre private sector workers, domestic workers, drivers, market women, underprivileged youths and senior citizens, unemployed folks, and all those living in the ghettos of Lagos, to give everyone a sense of belong and a good standard of living. A new beginning beckons to Lagosians. GRV is ready and prepared to take Lagosians to the next level. Join us!

Eluu p from top to bottom

Go and recover your destiny in Abia State. It is Yorubas that are to blame for the rubbish these refugees are pushing. People that couldn't survive in their poor and dying region. Wants to make a change in the place feeding them. People that are known in making premium bad decision. I believe after this elections this people needs to be put in place.

vote competence o no follow here mentality

They have come again with there divide and rule mentality by unleashing their last resort of destruction "tribalism" to break us...But their plans have failed woefully, all of a sudden, Sanwo Olu started writing letters like the biblican apostles. As it stands now, Sanwo Olu can attend "junior is 1 house party" uninvited...but we have seen through their deceits and a new Nigeria is possible!!

I have made arrangements with the men and women I trust to vote LP from Top to Bottom...!!

They will come for you. It's now obvious which tribe carry tribalism for head in Nigeria.

Let's flush these guys out. Anyone running for public office must know it's for service. It's not your entitlement. It's not your personal business. It's for service! VOTE ELLU P FROM TOP TO BOTTOM!

I see

Sponsored post indeed.

I'm one of those who regretted voting for Obi.
I regret it every single day that passes by.

Statements like, 1) Igbos were the ones that voted him in Lagos.
2) we've proved that Lagos is a no man's land.
3) Yorubas are tribalists for voting Tinubu over Obi while Igbos are sensible for giving their own bloc votes.

I've read and heard enough of these stupid talks.
There is no room for Shukudis in Lagos State.
Whatever point they want to make should be made with Biafla.

GRV is a dead ambition, you can't insult my tribe, insult my pastor, turn your back at your own people because you were trying to impress the Okoros and now all of a sudden you've found your voice.
Go to Anambla and contest, Lagos isn't for sale, it's for yoruba propers.

If Ireti Kingibe is Igbo by tribe (the senator for FCT), by now urchins & Ibadan gutter media like TVC will be shouting out loud that Igbos want to take over Abuja.
But since she's Yoruba, they've all gone mute

Gbadebo Rhode vivour is our next governor in Lagos state.

Even Obi and his familyi relocated to Lagos after he served as the gov of Anambra
Go to Aba. Go to Enugu Go to Awka and Owerri to reclaim your destinies .

Non of those states have a working Molue buses not to talk of good roads.

The Monorail contract Obi signed in Onitsha in 2010, no single sand has been dropped in that zone.


yet the idiots who have practically nothing to show in their states are telling Lagosians to vote right.

If una like make una fall mugu to their campaign.

I am presently in Awka, the state capital, Anambra state,
The Awka capital can not compete with any of the local govt in lagos yet they will tell you to vote right.
Make una allow them to fool una, una eyes go clear after election

OFO lema banbe! ema lule ni!! nothing for una

Let's settle this once and for all

Sanwoolu is a goner

I think it is time for lagos to try another Party.
When one Party stays too long in power, there is bound to be pocket sized individuals, who builds a corruption niche here and there.

He will lose.

Reasons? His inexperience, lack of depth in understanding Lagos, bigotted Yoruba-phobia tweets, lack of acceptance among the Yoruba, his inability to speak Yoruba and claims that he adopted his step-father's name have already cancelled him out of the race.
There is a new one that he did not attend MIT as claimed by him.

He should have gone for Councillorship then learn up his way

GRV lama dibo fun!

LP lama dibo fun!

Yes! Lagosians can get their destinies back.


The only category of people who can NEVER get back their destinies are girls who have been fvcked and mounted by many men because of two eggs and indomie.

Once you discover that she's not a virgin, fvck her and let her go when you're tired of her smelly wornout pvssy. Never marry her.

She has given her best (virginity) to another man, why should you carry leftover? Are you a fool?

A woman who has given her best to another man should not expect the best from you.


Fvck any girl you want but when it comes to marriage, find a virgin woman and marry. Better to suffer to find a virgin woman and have a peaceful lasting home than to marry a girl who has given her best to another man and suffer in your marriage.

Avoid single mothers entirely. Those ones are operating under a different level of curse. There is a reason men who fvcked her didn't stay in her life, why should you stay.
No matter how well you take care of her, she will still open her legs for the father of her baby.

Don't use your head to carry curse. Let single mothers go away from you.
Their pvssy is bad, their character is bad. Their destinies are gone. What do u now want with a single mother?


Are you a fool?

Any state in Nigeria better than lagos ? Una eye dey enter Lagos abi , make una close am😏😏.

Your fathers sold your ancestral lands to attend Owanbe parties and spray money to Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey & Shina Peter, you grow up, instead of you to hustle and know if you can buy the lands back, you sold the remaining one and relocate to Sango, Ikorodu and other suburbs and spray the rest to Wasiu Ayinde, Pasuma Wonder and Small Doctor. Now the buyers of your lands are expanding and consolidating, you begin to cry like babies and start constituting go back to your land nuisance. Oga we are in the lands that we bought from you and will live comfortable on it because we pay you completely and even pay extra while building. You sold your lands and still wants to be landlord, no way. Oga stop crying because you can never eat your cake and have it.
We conquered Lagos by proxy and would rule it one day.knw this and have peace

Which destiny? Go get your destiny in Nnewi.

LP all the way

Going to my polling unit this Saturday with my PVC, bottle of water, snacks & a dog on a leash to vote Labor Party & defend my vote
