Any Law To Protect Property Rights Of Lagos Indigenes Will Be Divisive – Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour

The Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos State for the 2023 election, Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour has come out to blast the comments made by Rt. Hon Mudasiru Obasa, Speaker of the state House of Assembly, that the house will make laws to protect the property right of indigenes.

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

According to him, the speaker must be watchful of the things he says because certain laws can divide Lagos residents along ethnic lines.

Gbadebo then warned that any enacted law that seeks to reverse property rights in favour of the indigenous people of Lagos State at the expense of other residents will be nothing but divisive.

His words, “By considering this regressive bill, the Speaker disregards the spirit of the Nigerian Constitution and perpetuates a discriminatory system that divides our society along ethnic lines.”

“The proposed bill undermines the principle of private ownership and could severely affect investment, economic growth, and overall prosperity in Lagos State. By considering such legislation, the Speaker is sending a damaging message to local and international investors, discouraging their participation and confidence in the state’s economy.”
