Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s Lagos State 2023 governorship candidate, has made it clear that he will not align with President Bola Tinubu in his bid to become the state governor in 2027.
Rhodes-Vivour stated on Sunday, when replying to questions in an appearance on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’, he stated that doing so would be a complete waste of time.

“I will rather go and focus on my business, my work, and my family. That [aligning with Tinubu] will be a complete waste of time.
“The reason why we are in politics is to make the lives of Lagosians better; it is to restore Lagos to its old glory — glory that a lot of people might not really be familiar with in terms of the history of Lagos, and the greatness that Lagos once was,” he said.
The politician further stated that any party that would not allow him to maximise the commonwealth of Lagos for the benefit of its people is a complete waste of time.
According to him, Lagos would be better if the domination of what he termed as “agberocracry” was expunged.
Rhodes-Vivour, who recently defected from the Labour Party to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), stated that his motivation was to challenge the ruling party.
He also stated that Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, was aware of his choice to join the ADC.
When asked if he would run for Lagos State governorship in 2027 on the ADC platform, he replied, “By God’s grace.”
