At the interview which aired on Thursday, January 2, Rhodes-Vivour said his ambition is to lead the people of Lagos. “By God’s grace, yes,” Rhodes-Vivour said.
He, however, did not state if he would be leaving his party (LP) to contest under a different party in 2027. “I believe that if all parties do not come together, it is going to be a waste of time running in 2027 because there is a full state capture happening in this country now. We cannot afford for the opposition to be separate. For now, my job is to ensure that I have a strong party – Labour Party,” he said.
