Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour Promises Transparency in Lagos Race

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the governorship candidate for the African Democratic Congress in Lagos State, stated during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today that he would maintain a transparent administration if elected. He asserted that integrity distinguishes him from the ruling party, declaring, “I don’t pad budgets, I am not a thief.” Rhodes-Vivour criticized the current administration for alleged budget inflation, citing examples such as a generator priced at 16 million being listed as 160 million and an air freshener budgeted at 2 billion, which was later claimed to be a typo.

He expressed confidence in receiving support from Lagosians, emphasizing his consistent vision to enhance their quality of life. Addressing concerns about his ability to speak Yoruba and his family background, he stated that such distractions would not deter him from focusing on the pressing issues facing Lagos.

He reiterated the importance of addressing real challenges rather than getting sidetracked by minor issues.
