The Lagos State Chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has described Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the gubernatorial candidate for the Labour Party in the 20223 election as a champion of the electorate.

This was made known by the Lagos State Chairman of the ADC, George Ashiru in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Tuesday, September 8 in Lagos after Rhodes-Viviour officially dumped LP for the ADC on Saturday.

He described the move as a right step in the right direction, saying the party was excited about his prospects in the party.


“GRV has shown himself to be a champion of the electorate, from when he was a young Lagos West senatorial candidate in 2019 to being the Labour Party gubernatorial flag bearer in 2023.

“His joining the ADC as part of the coalition of Nigerians into ADC is a patriotic act.

“We at ADC, the home of the coalition of Nigeria’s patriots and long- suffering citizens, warmly welcome him, and further extend our warm handshake to others like him and the electorate at large,” he said.

According to him, Rhodes-Vivour has led many members of the Lagos LP extraction into ADC.

He said that the party was forming a more formidable opposition and the credible alternative that would give Nigerians a better deal.
