- Rhodes-Vivour said the party is strategising and building on the successes it recorded in 2023 general election and will consolidate its position with victory in 2027.
The 2023 Labour Party, LP, governorship candidate in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, says the Labour Party is poised to take over power in Lagos State in 2027.
Rhodes-Vivour said the party is strategising and building on the successes it recorded in the 2023 general election and will consolidate its position with victory in Lagos in 2027.
Gbadebo made this known while fielding questions from newsmen in Umuahia, Abia State capital, where he attended an extended stakeholders’ meeting of the Labour Party.
The former governorship flag bearer expressed satisfaction over the outcome of the party’s stakeholders’ meeting in Umuahia, saying that the future of the party has been brightened.
He said, “LP is now well structured, not just to win but to take power in 2027. What we have come to do here in Umuahia is to bring everybody on the same page. We are set for new victories in 2027.
“I believe the Labour Party will win Lagos State more convincingly in 2027. Since after the 2023 elections, work has not stopped; we have not gone quiet. Every day, we are getting stronger and stronger.
“So, we are not just going to win but stand up and take power.”
Rhodes-Vivour also accused the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, of maladministration, saying its abysmal and woeful performance has made it much easier for the Labour Party to sweep both Lagos and the country in 2027.
He said the excruciating economic hardship and growing hunger in the land are clear testimonials of the ineptitude of the ruling party at the centre.
