It's sound so funny watching the Gubernatorial candidate of Labour Party during an interview session on Arise TV’s Morning show on Sunday. Where he made it known that he has hired a Yoruba teacher because he was interested in learning how to speak Yoruba and also understand the deep history of Yoruba language. Why is it now that he is interested in learning how to speak the language of those he wants to govern ?.

The candidate of Labour party in lagos state is having a serious identity crisis, INEC and Lagosians need to be very vigilant about his Identity, from Chinedu to Patrick, he said his tribal name is Gbadebo, the name he can't defend, this is a man that want to be Governor of a State dominated by a particular ethnic group and he can't speak the language of the ethnic group that dominate such state. It's abysmally abysmal.

On his MIT certificate we can only see the Patrick Rhodes Vivour boldy written on it, The Gbadebo he called himself is not even appearing on his certificate. Whenever he wants to contest he comes up with different names and different Identity;

Patrick Rhodes-Vivour - 2008

Gbadebo Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour - 2019

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour - 2017/2023

Why all the lies just for the sake of politics, Chinedu is only good to be used to deceive the Igbos while Gbadebo is only good to be used to deceive the Yorubas, he couldn’t even use any of the names on his MIT certificate. Such a fraud, inconsistent fellow, claiming where he is not from and can't even speak the language people from the state understand, it's a big slap on the culture and traditions of the people within that territory.

How will he interact with the market women (Iya Oloja's), if eventually he emerge as Governor of the state, majority of these women hardly interact in another language except from Yoruba. He was unable to speak Yoruba when he was called for an interview, he said it himself that people often laugh at him if he wants to speak Yoruba. This is the first time in history we will see such person with questionable Identity contesting for the post of Governor in Lagos state.

It's understandable If an igbo man speaks Yoruba fluently, at least you will know that he learnt it as a second language. He will never tell you that he is a Yoruba man. Where is the identity of a Yoruba man who can't speak his language and who would like to govern a yoruba state?, how will he communicate with the indigenous Yorubas as a Yoruba man?.

His certificate should carry same name with all his verifiable names. I checked Wikipedia the Patrick on his certificate is not appearing on the site. His MIT certificate is the only certificate that shows Patrick Rhodes-Vivour not Patrick Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour. In the midst of Yoruba's he call himself Gbadebo, in the midst of Igbo's he call himself Chinedu, his identity is questionable.

He used the name Patrick abroad, used Chinedu while contesting in Lagos West Senatorial district in 2019 because of the heavy presence of Igbos in the district. In 2023, he switched to Gbadebo just to appear indigenous and to deceive the Yorubas. If am to recruit him for a job, I would never consider him with the MIT certificate. There is a huge disparity between his name and the certificate. He should let us see his birth certificate, International passport, NIN or the name on his BVN in public.

The exponential potential for consolidated growth in Lagos, potentially the 3rd largest economy in Africa, cannot be subjected to gambling. The seat of Lagos Governor is not an experimental platform for any random person without any credible track record in governance or anybody with a questionable identity. Lagosians will never vote for someone that can't boldly identify with his ethnic group.

We don't read long epistles any longer, we will vote Elupee and that's the only thing we know.

Good night this afternoon.

OP THAT IS NOT ALL!

His real and underpinning motives remain largely unclear, ambiguous and ulterior.

He is benefitting from the current political sand-storm in the midst of a lot of unnecessary ethnocentric, psychological games and image-laundering.

The LP Lagos Guber Candidate is currently on the Board of Al Huda Nigeria Limited and Delta International Commercial City Asaba (DICCA) in Delta State. A company owned by his father Olawale Rhodesvivour. The true corporate and operational status of this company remains unknown till this very moment. His father is not the former Supreme Justice Bode Rhodesvivour. All of these are embedded in the links below.

Now, few questions:
1. Has the LP Lagos Guber Candidate resigned from the positions held in these private business concerns?

2. If Yes, can he publish officially his resignation letters and Board Resolutions reflecting the same?

3. If Yes also, why is he leaving such an important project that can exponentially transform Asaba, Delta State to run for Governor in Lagos State at this opportune moment?

4. If No, how does he intend to manage his public office portfolio as Executive Governor of a state like Lagos and private portfolio as an Executive Director in a private construction company faraway in Asaba, Delta State without breaching ethics of corporate governance?

5. On the Delta Commercial City Project in Asaba, what is the current status of this project considering that it was launched since 2016?

6. Can the LP Lagos Guber Candidate maximize this to showcase his track-record and performance in result-orientation, consistency, public service delivery and project completion drive?

7. Simply put, is it an ongoing or abandoned project? Any evidence or proof of performance/ success? If he can not transform Asaba, how can he transform Lagos?

8. Where has the finance for the project been coming from or will be coming from in future? Any audited financial reports to prove accountability and sound managerial ethics?

9. Why did he not foremost prioritize and consider designing and implementing this kind of project for the benefit of Lagos and Lagosians considering the drive to turn Lagos into a megacity?

10. Has the LP Guber Lagos Candidate done a verifiable Assets/ Net Worth Declaration?

11. Point no. 15.0 of "His 100 Days in Office as Governor" on "Working with Labour Party to appoint first-class caretaker Chairmen for each Local Govt, each appointee being skilled enough to be a potential Governor".
a) Is this not a clandestine attempt at re-establishing and re-entrenching a neo-godfatherism (new form of god-fatherism) masquerading as sustainable succession planning for LP candidacy?
b) Based on what criteria will the appointees be screened and chosen?

These are real issues about character, competence, capacity and credibility that the Lagos LP Guber ought to be engaged upon to duly address and clarify.

Enough of the flowery semantics and sentimental merry-go-rounds.

Let's hope the unnecessary and toxic dust of tribalism and ethno-centricism can settle for this to occur in the appropriate quarters and channels.

The hopes and destinies of Lagos and true Lagosians hang in the balance.

OP over to you!

An agama lizard can never become a komodo dragon..

No matter the packaging.

While the APC has performed albeit not too good.

The LP Lagos candidate is a frying pan to fire scenario

1. Mention one top calibre entity in Nigeria that employs simply and solely based on educational qualifications. Except it is an entry level post.

Can any bank employ you as a CEO simply because you are an Harvard or any Ivy league university Graduate?

The job of a Governor is Chief Executive Officer of the government of a state. That is not an entry level job.

Educational qualifications are certainly not enough.

Experience is paramount.

2. We know his progenitors and ancestors. But are we voting for his ancestors?

Do you employ a CEO of a bank because his ancestors were distinguished bankers?

When did life-long career achievements become genetic and transmittable?

He has no successful career in anything. Both as an architect and politician.

Everything about him is comestics and aesthetics.

Absymally flawed substandard product (candidate) in a superb package (campaign).

Classical case of trying to feed a child agbo from 5Alive container.

Such a colossal deception!

He is not serious

Make una dey write epistle without addressing the key concerns of :

Agbeorism,
Multiple taxation
Unfriendly business climate
Lekki toll gate reinstatement
Finacial leakages in the state funds
Lack of transparency in Lagos state finances.
poor infrastructure and utter neglect of certain parts of lagos

Why on earth is Lagos against the Foi bill ?

How much public sector experience did jakande who in 4 years did more than 24 years of Apc govt in Lagos have?

The key here is who will align the state with international bestn practice to take lagos to higher heights ..

The key is a heart for the people and sincere problem solving skills which an MIT trained architect will not lack

Kagawa10:

Ok ..so whose responsibility to checkmate them abd allow law and order thrive ?

You see how week ypur argument is ?

Lateef Jakande was already successful in his career path.

An established journalist of repute. An Editor-in-Chief.

Your candidate should show us his CV and verifiable accomplishment in his sector. And stop latching on other people's pedigrees both dead and living.

Let them cry ...but the govt must wake up to its responsibilities.

I am not surprised the Mc oluomo and co have suddenly become ibos during election

Hahaha. Atowunrinwa want to govern Lagos state.

He must be kidney himself

Mcolumo isn't agbero! Sink that into your skull. Don't you know the meaning of agbero? Agberos are those people who disturb you when you buy something or carry goods or drive private vehicle.

Mcolumo is a nurtw member who's the leader of all the taxi driver members in Lagos nurtw franchise! Every indigenous state has their own nurtw! Get sense please!

Olodo is now writing long epistle for people to read did he write this epistle on tinubu over his identity crises, hypocrites

I asked for public sector experience.

He was a journalist , managing how many people ?

GRV is an architect , trained in one of the best schools in the universe, has been in private practice too.

GRV is indeed giving this bigots headache.


Patrick was the name given to GRV by his parents at baptism.

Gbedebo was the Omoluabi name given to him by his dad at birth.

Chinedu was a name given to him by his maternal grandmum.

GRV is free to use any of those names as he deemed fit. There is no contradictions here. Your only problems is in Chinedu.

So go and rest!

Nurtw don't disturb drivers! Get sense! Their jobs is to ensure the safety of passengers by having all the taxi drivers registered as members so they can know everyone of their members hence there wouldn't be a situation of kidnapping since they know their fellow members. Of course these taxi drivers pay levies as members! All States have their own indigenous nurtw.

The agberos disturbing people are Igbos!

I personally like Sanwolu but he should not take the electorate for granted ...address key concerns and give verifiable assurances to people ..not this style of blackmail and tribal politics
