Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s (LP) candidate for governor of Lagos in the 2023 election, has revealed the reasons behind his defeat.
He claims that he lost the election because of threats and acts of violence directed at his followers.
This was said by Rhodes-Vivour on Monday in a post on X.
“When you have normalized violence against a group of people, eventually that violence should meet you. You look at what happened in the State Assembly where a majority, more than 90% of them, decided that they wanted someone else to speak on their behalf, to represent them, and they went through the entire process.
“They voted, they stood their ground, despite intimidation, despite the force that was used against them. But you see how that same similar force was used to cut short the will of the people in the State Assembly.
“So it’s a culture of violence, and intimidation and voter suppression and I think that the main obstacle for me in 2023 elections,” he said.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
