The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has described Labour Party’s 2023 Lagos governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, as a steadfast champion of the electorate, praising his continued advocacy for transparent governance and people-oriented leadership.
In a statement on Monday, the party commended Rhodes-Vivour for consistently amplifying the voices of ordinary Nigerians, especially the youth, whom he inspired during the last elections with his bold vision for a new Lagos.
According to the ADC, his message of inclusivity, social justice, and grassroots empowerment has remained relevant even beyond the polls, making him a figure of hope for many citizens disenchanted with the political status quo.
“Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour has proven that leadership is not only about holding office but about standing firm for the people and their right to good governance,” the party noted. “He continues to remind us that democracy belongs to the electorate, not the ruling elites.”
The ADC further emphasized that leaders like Rhodes-Vivour symbolize the aspirations of Nigerians seeking a break from divisive politics and governance failures. The party urged other political actors to emulate his courage and commitment to accountability.
It reiterated that Nigeria’s democracy can only thrive if politicians prioritize the welfare of the electorate over personal ambition, stressing that Rhodes-Vivour’s resilience has shown that “the people’s voice cannot be silenced.”
