The Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has disclosed that his ambition to be the governor of the state is not backed by any godfather.
Speaking on Arise Television Programme, Morning Show, Rhodes-Vivour said there was no godfather in the Labour Party nor did he have one, adding that he only had mentors and leaders.
He said, “In the Labour Party, there’s no godfather. I have no godfather. I had no godfather in PDP. I only had mentors and leaders. There were rumours of money being embezzled. Money meant for rally, elections. The narrative he brought to get the ticket was that he would bring half of the APC to add to the PDP.
“That was the story. But all of them have gone back to the APC now. Where is the value? He got the ticket because all the leaders of the party on national level, from Ayu, even Obasanjo supported him. And now when tables have turned, he’s talking about godfatherism.”
The LP candidate is reacting to a claim by the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, had alleged that godfathers like Chief Bode George are the ones pushing Rhodes-Vivour.
