‘Our Victory In Lagos Was Not Tribal’ – Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour

The Labour Party (LP) candidate for the governorship election in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has come out to explain that his party’s victory in the state at the presidential election had nothing to do with tribalism.

According to him, his party won over 900,000 votes in the state because the youths came out to vote willingly without any inducements.

The Labour Party chieftain made this pronouncement at a press conference in the Lekki area of the state on Wednesday.

He submitted that Labour Party won in places where the opposition has never won in two decades such as Alimosho, Ikeja, and several other places, Naija News learnt.

Rhodes-Vivour, who said he would be always grateful to the people of Lagos State for the kind gesture, said “This was not a tribal victory.

“We won in places where the opposition has never won in two decades; we won in Alimosho, we won in Ikeja and several other places.”

The Labour Party governorship candidate also kicked against the result of the presidential election, saying his party’s flag bearer, Peter Obi was cheated because results were not electronically transmitted as promised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He advanced that “From our situation room, we see that we won over 900, 000 votes and this was all because you came out.

“This was won without any voter inducement. We cannot stop thanking the good people of Lagos. We made history in that election; we took Lagos State and restored it back to the people.

“We unequivocally reject the process by which the results were announced because it was not electronically as promised by INEC.”

He also pleaded with the youth and people of the state to come en-masse to vote All Progressives Congress (APC) out of the state in the forthcoming governorship and state assemblies’ polls.
