Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s former Lagos State governorship candidate in the 2023 general elections, has stated that he did not leave the party and that they are committed to establishing a strong coalition.

Rhodes-Vivour clarified this on Monday during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’.

“The fact that I have constantly remained in the opposition throughout my political career, shows more consistency than the average seen in our political circle and culture.

“I would not say I dumped the Labour Party because as you know the party is divided into two factions.

“One of such factions is pro-coalition. A coalition is the coming together of several political parties and thinkers. And the African Democratic Congress, ADC, is the party that had been adopted for the coalition.

“We are focused on building a robust coalition. I am a registered member of the ADC now. The ADC is in alliance with the Obidients in Lagos State,” he said.
