APC Challenges Rhodes-Vivour on Governance Knowledge

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour to enhance his understanding of Lagos beyond merely learning the Yoruba language. APC spokesperson Mogaji Seye Oladejo responded to Rhodes-Vivour's announcement of engaging a Yoruba language teacher for his campaign, stating that while learning the language is commendable, it does not equate to understanding the state's history, culture, and socio-economic realities.

Oladejo questioned Rhodes-Vivour's depth of engagement with the people he aims to govern, suggesting he should complement his language lessons with a broader understanding of Lagos. He defended the experience of APC's governorship candidate, Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, highlighting Hamzat's extensive public service record.

Oladejo called for a serious debate on governance issues, particularly regarding transportation challenges, urging Rhodes-Vivour to present detailed alternatives for addressing traffic congestion in Lagos.
