The Lagos State Chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has welcomed 2023 Lagos State Labour Party governorship candidate Gbadebo Rhodes‑Vivour to its ranks. State ADC Chairman George Ashiru called the defection a step in the right direction, describing Rhodes‑Vivour as a champion of the electorate based on his experience as a senatorial candidate in 2019 and as the party’s gubernatorial flag bearer in 2023. Rhodes‑Vivour officially joined the ADC on Saturday, a move Ashiri framed as a patriotic act.
Ashiru said the ADC is pleased to have Rhodes‑Vivour on board, noting that he has already encouraged many members of the Lagos Labour Party to switch to the ADC. This development is expected to strengthen the party’s position as a formidable opposition and a credible alternative to the current government. The chairman emphasized that the ADC is a coalition of Nigerian patriots and citizens seeking a better deal, and that Rhodes‑Vivour’s addition will help the party offer a more viable option to the electorate.
The defection is viewed as a significant development in Nigeria’s political scene. As the country navigates a complex political terrain, the ADC is positioning itself as a major player. With growing membership and increasing influence, the party is likely to play a key role in shaping the nation’s future. Its vision of providing a better deal for Nigerians resonates with many citizens yearning for change. With Rhodes‑Vivour’s support, the ADC is poised to make a substantial impact in upcoming elections and beyond.
