Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, governorship candidate of the Labour
Party (LP) in Lagos, says winning the state will give birth to a new kind of
politics in Nigeria.
On March 18, Rhodes-Vivour will contest with Babajide
Sanwo-Olu, the incumbent and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
and Olajide Adediran of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the governorship
election.
Speaking at an event in Ikeja on Thursday, Rhodes-Vivour
said if elected governor, he will lift many Nigerians, particularly Lagosians,
from poverty.
He said electing him will mean setting a new standard for
politicians in Nigeria, adding that there will be a stop to the status quo in
leadership.
“We know that the
goal and what we are going through is far bigger than I and any of us,” he
said.
“It is a project that will lift the lives of millions of
Lagosians up and in turn lift the lives of many Nigerians up. It is a project
to free Lagos from the shackle hold of tyranny.
“A Lagos state where the inner roads will work, where our
people will have quality healthcare, water, quality public education, not one
where parents keep struggling trying to find how to pay school fees for their
children to go to private school.
“We are already 90
per cent there. We need to bring this thing home. I want you to understand that
the moment we take Lagos, this fire of a new type of politics will engulf
Nigeria.
“You start to find politicians that mean well for the
people, that can articulate their vision and are positive about change.”
Rhodes-Vivour added that “we are changing the narrative to
have a new Lagos and a new Nigeria”.
