The Labour Party governorship candidate in the 2023 election in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has declared his intention to take part in the 2027 poll.
In an interview on Gold Room anchored by a Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, on Monday, Rhodes-Vivour expressed his determination to run for office again, citing the need for opposition parties to remain active and vocal post-election.
He said: “By God’s grace, I will run for governorship again in 2027.
“We are working. We gained a lot of traction, saw our mistakes. We saw the loopholes we made, and we’re working on that.
The LP candidate identified the trend of opposition parties fading into silence after elections as a major mistake in Lagos politics.
“I think the biggest mistake that has happened in Lagos politics is after elections, the opposition goes quiet. That is not happening this time,” he stated.
The Architect-turned-politician pledged to maintain a strong presence in the state, engage in health outreaches and hold the government accountable for its actions.
“We’re in people’s faces. We’re doing our best in terms of health outreaches. We have a micro health insurance plan that we’re taking all across the state where people can get treatment of up to N6,000 for free,” he stated.
