Rhodes-Vivour contests 2027 governorship election in Lagos

The Labour Party governorship candidate in the 2023 election in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has declared his intention to vie for the position in 2027.

Rhodes-Vivour, who featured in Channels Television’s Politics Today, said he would not give up his ambition of ruling the state.

However, the architect-turned-politician did not say if he would remain in LP or use another platform in two years’ time.

Rhodes-Vivour finished second in the 2023 election, behind Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

When asked if he would give the state’s number political seat another shot in 2027, Rhodes-Vivour simply responded with “By God’s Grace, yes.”

“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,” he stated.
