The 2023 governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has declared that he has no intention of supporting President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections as a way to make it easier for him to emerge as the Lagos State Governor.

According to him, any thought of supporting Tinubu is a complete waste of time.

Rhodes-Vivour added that he can never be a party to any structure that will not allow him to maximize the commonwealth of Lagos for the people of the state.

Naija News reports that the former governorship candidate said he is on a political journey to make the lives of Lagosians better and restore Lagos to its old glory.

Asked whether he saw himself aligning with Tinubu’s style of politics in Lagos, the former LP candidate, who appeared as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, said, “No, I will rather go and focus on my business, my work, and my family. That [aligning with Tinubu] will be a complete waste of time.

“The reason why we are in politics is to make the lives of Lagosians better; it is to restore Lagos to its old glory — glory that a lot of people might not really be familiar with in terms of the history of Lagos, and the greatness that Lagos once was.

“Any party that will not allow me to maximise the commonwealth of Lagos for the benefit of its people is a complete waste of time.”
