Rhodes-Vivour dumps LP for ADC

The Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate in the 2023 election in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has dumped the party for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Rhodes-Vivour announced his defection to the ADC at an event in Lagos on Saturday, September 6, 2025.

Rhodes-Vivour, who was defeated by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 election, described his move to the ADC as part of a broader coalition.

He stated: “I am happy to become part of this family. I’m looking forward to the union and governance that this party will bring to Nigerians.

“My prayer is that God will grant our leaders and the party’s structure the wisdom to come together and define a new path for our beloved country.”

Rhodes-Vivour also called for unity among opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general election, saying: “This is a coalition that is meant to rescue Nigeria.

“I have said since after the 2023 elections that we cannot afford to divide the opposition going into the next election. We must come together, united through a robust coalition that will stand a chance in 2027 to deliver this country.”
