I don’t need Tinubu to become Lagos gov, Rhodes-Vivour boast
The 2023 governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has ruled out the possibility of pitching his tent under the political structure of President Bola Tinubu to enable him to become the governor of Lagos State.
Rhodes-Vivour said it would be a complete waste of time for him to do.Asked whether he saw himself aligning with Tinubu’s style of politics in Lagos, the former LP candidate, who appeared as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, said, “No, 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.
“Any party that will not allow me to maximise the commonwealth of Lagos for the benefit of its people is a complete waste of time.”
