The Labour Party (LP) candidate for the Lagos State 2023 governorship election, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has accused popular comedian Seyi Law of being deceitful and dishonest.
He made this statement in response to an allegation from the comedian, who claimed that Rhodes-Vivour threatened to undermine traditional rulers if he won the 2023 governorship election in Lagos State.
The politician argued that Seyi Law was spreading lies, hatred, and prejudice.
Rhodes-Vivour shared a video where he pledged to restore the autonomy and authority of traditional rulers, which had been eroded by colonizers and subsequent governments.
He explained that by restoring the authority of traditional rulers, they would have the power to make decisions without needing approval from state governments.
He wrote, “Hear yourself and decide whether to reward a party and their vile and dishonest supporters who spread falsehood, hate, and bigotry. Or we can embrace a vision for Lagos where no one is left behind.”
