Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Lagos State, has lost his mother, Nkechi Stella Rhodes-Vivour.
He announced her death in a statement posted on his official X account on Monday.
The statement, signed on behalf of the family by Olawale Rhodes-Vivour, described the deceased as a loving wife, devoted mother and grandmother.
“With sadness in our hearts and gratitude to God for a life well spent, we announce the call to glory of Nkechi Stella Rhodes-Vivour (née Waboso). A loving wife, devoted mother and grandmother. The epitome of love,” the statement read.
The family said she would be sorely missed and prayed for the repose of her soul, adding that funeral arrangements would be announced later.
Rhodes-Vivour ran for Lagos governor in 2023 on the Labour Party platform. He has since defected to the ADC, clinching the party’s ticket for the 2027 Lagos governorship race in May 2026.
