Lagos 2027: Rhodes-Vivour Eyes Governorship Again
The Labour Party (LP) candidate in the 2023 Lagos governorship election, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has announced his intention to contest for governor again in 2027.
Rhodes-Vivour stated this during an interview with Gold Room, hosted by Nollywood Actress Iyabo Ojo.
According Rhodes-Vivour, he is working hard to maintain an active opposition presence.
He said, “By God’s grace, I will run for governorship again in 2027. We are working hard. We’ve gained significant traction, learned from our mistakes, and identified the loopholes we made.0:00 / 1:00
“The biggest mistake in Lagos politics is that after elections, the opposition disappears. That’s not happening this time,” he stated.
Rhodes-Vivour further called on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to ensure transparency and efficient use of public funds.
“With the level of suffering Nigerians and Lagosians are enduring, there’s an urgent need for accountability and transparency. The government must use public funds in the most efficient way possible,” he said.
“When the opposition holds the government accountable, the people ultimately benefit,” he concluded.
