The All Progressives Congress in Lagos State has come out to describe the 2023 Labour Party Governorship Candidate, Mr Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, as a politician with no direction. The party’s comment was a reaction to Gbadebo’s Saturday’s defection from LP to the African Democratic Congress.
In a press statement released by APC, the State Party Spokesman, Mr Seye Oladejo, revealed that Rhodes-Viviour is currently on a political scavenger hunt.
According to him, because of Gbadebo’s obvious lack of ideology as a politician, the electorate would not risk giving their mandate to him in 2027.
He stated that Rhodes-Vivour has finally taken a path that leads to nowhere with his ADC defection.
“From his forgettable beginnings in the obscure Kowa Party to his short-lived PDP romance to his opportunistic hijack of the Labour Party’s ticket in 2023 and now to ADC, Rhodes Vivour has jumped more parties than a restless frog hopping from one lily pad to another.
Each move leaves behind chaos, betrayal, and laughter from the people who see through his charade. Let us be clear: Rhodes-Vivour is not building a political career; he is on a political scavenger hunt.
He is forever in search of the next platform to abuse and abandon, the next slogan to parrot, and the next crowd to mislead.
His politics has no ideology, no direction, and certainly no loyalty—only the blind pursuit of personal ambition,” he said.
Seye further noted that the former LP governorship flagbearer should forget about convincing Lagosians because Lagos is not a lab for serial defectors.
He concluded by urging the Labour Party not to cry over Rhodes Vivour’s defection to ADC, stressing that the confused politician is definitely not worth it.
“What else do you (LP) expect from a man whose only political strategy is haste—haste to jump ship, haste to cut corners, haste to claim what he has not worked for?
For the avoidance of doubt, Lagos is not a laboratory for serial defectors. Governance is serious business, not a reality TV show where Gbadebo can change costumes every season.
The Labour Party needs not cry over a candidate who arrived on a night bus, snatched its gubernatorial ticket, and left before dawn,” he added.
