Former Lagos State governorship candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has said that he did not dump the party, stressing that they are focused on building a robust coalition.
Rhodes-Vivour made this clarification on Monday, while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television.
“The fact that I have constantly remained in the opposition throughout my political career, shows more consistency than the average seen in our political circle and culture.
“I would not say I dumped the Labour Party because as you know the party is divided into two factions.
“One of such factions is pro-coalition. A coalition is the coming together of several political parties and thinkers. And the African Democratic Congress, ADC, is the party that had been adopted for the coalition.
“We are focused on building a robust coalition. I am a registered member of the ADC now. The ADC is in alliance with the Obidients in Lagos State,” he said.
