Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s governorship candidate in Lagos state, has stated that he will defend the votes of his supporters in the recently finished gubernatorial election held on Saturday.
On Sunday, he announced this via a tweet on his Twitter profile.
He said, “Firstly, I would like to thank all Lagosians, especially our supporters, for coming out to vote yesterday for us. I’m convinced that with you in our corner, a NEW Nigeria is imminent.”
“However, I am saddened by the confirmed reports of violence and gross disenfranchisement of voters who only wished to perform their civic duty.”
“Attacks on polling units, voters, and our party agents are totally antithetical to what we stand for & what Lagos truly represents.”
“Collusion between the ruling party and electoral officials to return the candidate of the APC is a slap on the face of democracy and everyone who came out to vote for us on Saturday.”
“In the light of this, I am convinced beyond any doubt that the results being released by INEC do not represent the wishes of the majority of peaceful Lagosians.”
“More so the results from our field agents and situation room indicated that we won this election. I am a champion of the people. We are far from done. Do not lose hope, do not waver.”
“This is not over, we have not come this far to accept outright lies, criminality & falsehoods. A fight for FREEDOM is never easily won.”
