“Why I will never call Sanwo-Olu to congratulate him” — Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour blows hot

March 20, 2023

The Labour Party’s Lagos state governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has stated that he will never congratulate Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for winning the election.

The incumbent governor was declared winner of the election after receiving the most votes in 19 of the state’s 20 local government areas. He was re-elected governor of Lagos state after defeating PDP’s Jandor and GRV.

Speaking after his loss, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour heavily criticized the electoral process in the state, calling it a “sham”.

He claimed that the results were rigged and that the one he has differs from the one announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The politician also vowed to challenge the outcome in court, but until then, he will not call Sanwo-Olu to congratulate him.

His words,

“The signatures are there, but these results have been tampered with and uploaded. Also, a lot of results are called authentic results, but they are state of assembly results or presidential results. These results are being calculated and announced by INEC. There are so many instances of these, and it won’t stand.

“We have our own results, which we are in the lead and we will challenge this in a court of law. This was a sham and compromise of an election, it was an illegality that has never been perpetrated in Lagos since I was born.

“This was an election where an entire agent of a party was chased away from their polling unit. I will never call Babajide Sanwo-Olu to congratulate him for this sham of an election.

“This has set the precedence for violence in the election as ideas might not be discussed anymore.”

“You are complaning of thugs on the street trying to hinder people from voting their choices but you all are busy bullying and cursing (swearing ) for people who isn’t supporting LP (Obedient) You are no better than the thugs on the streets. You are bunch of internet thugs and rascals.
GodhelpNigeria.
It baffles me to see people, pages, handles, hidden keyboard bullies, know it all, trolls and others who have the time, energy and space to spend on tearing others down, bashing just because you share different views, beliefs and opinions. O sad gan ni!
It’s okay if you don’t agree with me or my views but it’s never okay for you to come to my space shit talking , bashing, causing/insulting me. No!
that’s unacceptable.
It’s okay if someone says something you don’t agree with but it’s not okay to dump all your shit in there comment sections so you can be seen or heard.
I said what I said “You are no better than the thugs on the streets”

“I am not supposed to be an artiste. I and the camera don’t agree. However, I am better now. I actually prefer social media platforms such as Tiktok and Instagram.
I turn down public speaking invitations all the time. If the people in the room are just about 20 or 30 people, and it is a question and answer session, I can do it. I don’t even like going live on Instagram.”
