"Vote Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV) as Governor of Lagos State.
"Labour Party all the way."
Judith Akatugba said:
"APC is propagating hate politics with the devilish lies they wasted their time propagating that Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour is IPOB. A very unethical set of pple without human dignity.
"See pics showing you the rich heritage of GRV and his ancestry.
"Is intermarriage unlawful??."
@UncleCCA said:
"APC couldn’t focus on issue based campaign but deployed intimidation, bigotry, xenophobia, and calumny.
"It’s a big shame that Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour has to deal with these shameless pigs.
"APC is a demonic party."
Rhodes-Virvour has reportedly stroked fear into the camp of the APC as the incumbent seat of Governor Sanwo Olu is threatened by the sudden rise of the Labour Party bannerman.
Similarly, Rhodes-Virvour will confidently head into the Lagos state gubernatorial polls as he's set to replicate the party's feat at the presidential election, where the ruling party lost to the Labour Party.

Meanwhile, the Lagos state chapter of the APC is setting machinery in place to ensure that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is not defeated in his second-term bid.
This is because the victory of Peter Obi, the LP candidate in the just concluded presidential election, has posed a threat to the APC chances and made Rhode-Vivour, the LP candidate, popular in the state.
One of the permutations the APC is making is to have dinner with the Igbo captain of industry led by Air Peace boss Allen Onyema.
