The Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos state for the 2023 election, Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour has condemned the comments made by Rt. Hon Mudasiru Obasa, Speaker of the state House of Assembly that the house will make laws to protect the property right of indigenes.

He cautioned the Speaker against laws that will divide Lagos residents along ethnic lines.


He warned that any enacted law that seeks to reverse property rights in favour of the indigenous people of Lagos state at the expense of other residents is divisive and not in the economic interest of Lagos.

Rhodes Vivour stated this in a statement posted on his official Twitter handle on Thursday

The PUNCH reports that Mudashiru Obasa had in his acceptance speech after his re-election as the Speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly said lawmakers will go to any length in protecting the state indigenes even if it means reversing existing law.

Rhodes Vivour described such a move as an attempt to undermine the fundamental right of residents as enshrined in the country’s constitution, adding that well-meaning Lagosians should resist “the divisive bill”

He also said that in considering such legislation, the speaker has disregarded the Nigerian constitution, adding the law will discourage the participation of local and international investors in Lagos’ economy.

He also said that in considering such legislation, the speaker has disregarded the Nigerian constitution, adding the law will discourage the participation of local and international investors in Lagos’ economy.

“By considering this regressive bill, the Speaker disregards the spirit of the Nigerian Constitution and perpetuates a discriminatory system that divides our society along ethnic lines.

“The proposed bill undermines the principle of private ownership and could severely affect investment, economic growth, and overall prosperity in Lagos State. By considering such legislation, the Speaker is sending a damaging message to local and international investors, discouraging their participation and confidence in the state’s economy,”
Rhodes Vivour said

Instead of promulgating such a law, Rhodes Vivour advocated for state laws that will rather “protect heritage, historical sites, and traditional institutions from political vandalism.”

He also urged the state government to stick to its duty of catering to the welfare of its citizens irrespective of the state of origin.

Some people av been barking nd telling us if they go the state revenue will become worst den go let the state be the one to worry Abt dere revenue at least they won't av anything to loot again according to u people so is a win win....

Predictable. He also disagreed with and condemned Ambode and the Lagos state assembly when they passed the Yoruba language bill into law, same law that had earlier passed in Anambra and Imo. He just doesn't like Yoruba people or Lagos being linked to its Yoruba history and heritage. Maybe it's coz his father broke his mom's heart or something, and since then he developed deep-seated hatred for yorubas. Coz it makes no sense.

Audio of him speaking against the Yoruba language law in Lagos.

Gbadebo is talking nonsense as usual.

At times,some advice just are meaningless

GRV, please don't be preemptive.
This is federalism.
I believe the states have the power to make laws that will protect the indigenes and the residents.
Let's see the bill first.

Is like this Ibo pikin is really madt

Please how will this proposed law affect the non indigenes if I may ask? Why the fuss about the proposed law?

Ile toba ntoro, omo ale ibe oti dagba ni. I’m glad we’ve identified Chinedu Rhodes Vivour early enough for who he is and the interest he stands for before he could get the opportunity to do any serious damage to Lagos. He will never amount to anything politically in Lagos.

Thats their style.

This guy is smart. He has my vote in 2027 for lagos Gubernatorial Election, APC will most likely present a muslim candidate for Governor in 2027, GRV would surely clear xtian votes.

They already do that anyway. They are most notorious in Nigeria for not selling land to "outsider".

OK na

Indeed . Tbe biggest clowns in Nigeria. As for Chinedu Gbadebo, the attention-seeking loser, time to leave Lagos matter to focus on trying to depose Soludo in Anambra where he is really from and his allegiance lies 100%.

"I don't think Yoruba" indeed. Lagos dodged a massive bullet with this clown.

Since yesterday, many people from the south east have been thrown into panic.

Wetin happen, Lagos is not part of south east get that to skull.....

Leave stop complaining. .Na by force to live together with the yorubas.


What is wrong with south east ? .is it not a region any more ? Pls let us know

People should learn how to ignore

Under Law 90% of Lagosians are not regarded as indigenes hence the bill will touch everybody

GRV should be strategizing on how Igbos can safely relocate out of Lagos with their dignity intact, instead being sitting ducks.

Yoruba people dont do religious things... muslim and christain in Yoruba land are one....


we have inter-religious marriage ... so do come and use the politcal camapaign formular you use during presidential election on yoruba people

Chinedu has found his voice back

Let them go ahead with what ever law they want, atleast it will be a win for the igbos cos there are still some set of Igbo people who after ojukwu warned them against investments outside Thier region they still foolishly go against the warning, please they should do it fast and I also call on other regions to follow suit so that aku eruo uno by fire by force.....a welcome development I must say .

Lol. Better go and groom him to fight Soludo for position of Anambra Governor if you love him. That much.

GRV, in a 'never again' sort of way, is done in SW politics as are others like him. Yorubas have learnt their lesson with you "give them an inch they take a mile" ingrates and haters.

Go and assault the North, SS and MB with your hostile takeover wahala as you are obsessed with doing in the SW.

Enough of una hateful, covetous and expansionist wahala in the SW.

What's this one saying? What brought Muslim and Christian here?
1. Chinedu has the history of insulting Yorubas online, only a bastard does that.
2. He has no Yoruba name, doesn't speak Yoruba and claims Anambra. He adopted a Yoruba name because of election. Why should you consider yourself worthy to govern people you never care to understand? An average Lagos dweller understand and speak Yoruba.
3. They quickly started it showing they want Igbos to take over Lagos.
He and Obi shot themselves in the leg.

Exactly, I even want the law so that it will force those Igbo men in particular to think home.

How do you expect him to think Yoruba when he is not of Yoruba origin?
Going through his history and antecedents, im not surprised with his utterances.

Don't mind the bastard. This is exactly what caused and is responsible for supremacy and leadership tussle in Kwara/Ilorin.
A Prince married a Gambari woman, the woman advised her sons to marry Gambari women and her daughters to marry Gambari men so that all the King's immediate family will all be Gambaris. So when the Prince became king, all Rulers, Chiefs and everyone in authority was changed by him to Gambaris and the stool is hereditary. That's how they lost thier land to Gambaris who rule them and claim ownership up till today.
This one was showing the traits too, they will remove Oba, bla bla. He shot himself in the leg.
The Ooni will turn Ife to same thing with the strange women he is getting married to.
