Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the 2023 Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos State, confidently stated that the party is poised to not only triumph but also seize power in Lagos in 2027.
Speaking to journalists in Umuahia, during an extended stakeholders’ meeting of the Labour Party, Rhodes-Vivour highlighted that the party has become stronger and more strategic in its bid to take control of Lagos State.
He noted that the party’s significant success in the 2023 polls, particularly in Lagos, has laid a solid foundation for future victories.
Following the fruitful stakeholders’ meeting in Umuahia, Rhodes-Vivour expressed his contentment with the bright prospects ahead for the Labour Party.
He said, “LP is now well structured, not just to win but to take power in 2027. What we have come to do here in Umuahia is to bring everybody on the same page. We are set for new victories in 2027.
“I believe the Labour Party will win Lagos State more convincingly in 2027. Since after the 2023 elections, work has not stopped; we have not gone quiet. Every day, we are getting stronger and stronger.
“So, we are not just going to win but stand up and take power.”
Rhodes-Vivour also accused the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, of maladministration, saying its abysmal performance has made it much easier for the Labour Party to sweep both Lagos and the country in 2027.
He said the excruciating economic hardship and growing hunger in the land are clear testimonials of the ineptitude of the ruling party at the centre.
