Rhodes-Vivour: I’ll run for governor of Lagos again

Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate in Lagos during the 2023 election, spoke during an interview on Gold Room anchored by Iyabo Ojo, a Nollywood actress.

The former LP governorship candidate said he would fix the trend of opposition parties fading into silence post-election.

“By God’s grace (I will run for governorship again in 2027). We are working. We gained a lot of traction, saw our mistakes. We saw the loopholes we made, and we’re working on that,” he said.

“I think the biggest mistake that has happened in Lagos politics is after elections, the opposition goes quiet. That is not happening this time.

“We’re in people’s faces. We’re doing our best in terms of health outreaches. We have a micro health insurance plan that we’re taking all across the state where people can get treatment of up to N6,000 for free.

“And just being up-to-date to current affairs and holding the government accountable, calling out when the government is spending our monies in extravagant ways, regardless of the suffering that Nigerians are dealing with.”

Rhodes-Vivour also asked for accountability from Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos.

“So, with the level of suffering that Nigerians are dealing with, Lagosians are dealing with, we need to have accountability and transparency, and our government must be using our money in the most efficient way possible,” he added.

“And that is the work of opposition. So when opposition does that, then the people benefit.”

Whatever happened to running in Anambra, Enugu or Ebonyi?

This time around, the results will shock you

A Yoruba hater and IPOB sympathizer can never rule Lagos

Besides that, the guy is full of emptiness and can not point to any project he has singlehandedly executed or team or company he has led

Even an LCDA in Lagos is too big for him to handle

Okete001:
Your ip0b agenda once failed and it will surely fail again and this time the failure will be so loud.

It is not by force to develop Lagos.

Go and develop Anambra .

Your region needs development more than Lagos does
