I’ll Learn From My Past Mistakes – Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour

Labour Party’s governorship candidate in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour has come out to hint at running again for the position.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he is already learning from past mistakes and working to strengthen his political movement, and he can only emphasize the importance of staying visible and active in opposition politics.

He added that the biggest mistake he has noticed with Lagos politics is that, after elections, the opposition goes completely quiet.

His words, “By God’s grace, we are working. We gained a lot of traction, we also saw our mistakes, we saw the loopholes we made, and we’re working on that, I think the biggest mistake that has happened in Lagos politics is after elections, the opposition goes quiet, which is not, that is not happening this time.

For instance, when we called out that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is using taxpayers money to pay his own personal legal bills or how they’re using, yes, almost 200 million Naira, or how they use almost two billion, say they wanted to buy fans or spending billions on consultants for bus routes and bus networks.

With the level of suffering that Nigerians and Lagosians are dealing with, we need to have accountability and transparency. Our government must be using our money in the most efficient way possible, and that is the work of the opposition.

We’re in people’s faces, we’re doing our best in terms of health outreaches; we have a micro-health insurance plan that we’re taking all across the state where people can get treatment of up to six thousand Naira for free and just being up to date to current affairs.”

WOW.
