The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Lagos has praised Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, 2023 Labour Party governorship candidate, as a “champion of the electorate” after his defection, saying his move strengthens the opposition.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Lagos State has hailed Mr. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the 2023 Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos, as a “champion of the electorate.”
ADC State Chairman, George Ashiru, made the remark in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos.
NAN recalls that Rhodes-Vivour, popularly known as GRV, formally left the Labour Party for the ADC on Saturday.
Reacting to the development, Ashiru described the defection as a positive move, noting that the ADC was delighted to welcome him into its ranks.
He said:
“GRV has shown himself to be a champion of the electorate, from when he was a young Lagos West Senatorial candidate in 2019 to being the Labour Party gubernatorial flag bearer in 2023.
His joining the ADC as part of the coalition of Nigerians into ADC is a patriotic act.
We at ADC, the home of the Coalition of Nigeria’s patriots and long-suffering citizens, warmly welcome him, and further extend our warm handshake to others like him and the electorate at large.”
Ashiru added that Rhodes-Vivour had led many members of the Lagos LP faction into the ADC, strengthening the party’s ranks.
He stressed that the ADC was building a more formidable opposition and a credible alternative aimed at offering Nigerians a better deal.
