Gbadebo Is Not A Politician, He Is An Activist – Olawale Rhodes-Vivour Canvasses Supports For His Son

The father of the Labour Party (LP) Governorship Candidate in Lagos State, Olawale Rhodes-Vivour has described his son, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour as an activist rather than a politician.

According to him, his son has a good heart and so Lagosians should not be scared to vote for him because Nigerians have had enough and they just want normal, decent people in the position of power.

Naija News learnt that GRV’s father made the passionate appeal to the people of Lagos on Wednesday at a press conference in the Ikeja area of the state.

Olawale, who endorsed his son, urged Lagosians to come out and vote for his son in the March 11 poll in the state, noting that he has the character and is rugged to finish what he has started.

He said it is possible to “prevail against evil if Lagosians come out en masse and vote for his son.

“If we can see the writing on the wall that it is possible to prevail against evil, then please come out on the 11th of March and make it a resounding victory for all of us.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be scared, come out on the 11th. We have put in place strategies.
“We are going to be proactive and not reactive on the 11th because if we got 900,000 votes and you gave us 500,000 votes, even though we beat you, still affects the overall turnout of the situation.

“Gbadebo is my son. Gbadebo is not a politician; he is an activist. That is the core character of Gbadebo. When he came out of school, he was busy leading marches to the legislature, he was debating with the minister of agriculture.

“My son is rugged enough to finish what he started.

“Gbadebo, at heart, is just a good man because he reacts violently to anything negative.
“During his activism, he realised that it is difficult to change things as an activist and he decided to go back to school to have a Master in Political Science.”

He also debunked reports of his son’s association with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Olawale said “Gbadebo have no time for IPOB. This boy is highly educated and highly driven. We can track is record every day in Lagos. He has no time for IPOB. Even Obi himself has come out to say he doesn’t support IPOB.”

Naija News reports that Rhodes-Vivour gained more popularity and momentum following the victory of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, in Lagos during the presidential election.
