Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate in the 2023 election in Lagos, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour is very angry at those saying that he does not have grassroot support and has lambasted them.

Speaking via X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday July 30th, 2025 Rhodes-Vivour said:

“For my election, there was violence widespread across the entire state. If you don’t not have grassroot support, you would not bother putting such formation to be able to stop the other person.”

“You would not bother desecrating our traditional institution and to be able to create the political hole that moves with election time table. Those who said I have no grassroot support are actually deceiving themselves.”
