Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour Says He Will Not Join Tinubu to Become Lagos Governor in 2027
Former Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has made it clear that he will not align with President Bola Tinubu in his bid to govern the state come 2027.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Sunday, Rhodes-Vivour said it would be pointless for him to consider such an option. “I’d rather focus on my business, my work, and my family. Aligning with Tinubu would be a total waste of time,” he said.
He explained that his entry into politics was driven by a desire to improve the lives of Lagos residents and to restore the state’s past glory, which, according to him, many people today may not even be familiar with.
Rhodes-Vivour stressed that any political platform that does not prioritize using the state’s wealth for the benefit of its people is not worth his time. He added that Lagos could only truly progress if what he described as “agberocracy” is removed from its political system.
The politician, who recently left the Labour Party for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), said the move was to give him a stronger platform to challenge the ruling party. He also confirmed that the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, was aware of his decision.
When asked about his governorship ambition in 2027 under the ADC, Rhodes-Vivour simply responded, “by God’s grace.”
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
