Former Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has said 2027 is the time to end what he tagged “baba sope criminality” and elect a governor that is accountable.
Rhodes-Vivour insisted that only voters in the state should decide who to vote as their governor and not any individual.
He was reacting to reports that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu was directed to resign on health grounds.
The Lagos State government had dismissed the claims.
However, Rhodes-Vivour stressed that political power should not be concentrated in the hands of a few.
Posting on X, he wrote: “The APC, and particularly Mr President, are mistaken to believe they have stripped Lagosians of agency.
“That who becomes governor or when to remove the said governor is reduced to the feelings or hallucinations of one man and a gang of kleptocrats is insulting to many and must no longer be tolerated.
“Only the people of Lagos can and must determine those who will lead them.
“Only them also reserve the right to decide when they are fed up with who governs the state.
“In 2027 we must permanently end this babasọpe criminality and elect a governor that is accountable and beholden to the people of Lagos. It is time to restore #OurLagos in the interest of all Lagosians.”
