The Labour Party (LP) candidate for the governorship election in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has stated that the victory of Labour Party in Lagos State is not along tribal lines.
The LP governorship candidate in Lagos stated this at a press conference in the Lekki area of the state on Wednesday.
Gbadebo said the party won in places where the opposition has never won in two decades such as Alimosho, Ikeja and several other places.
“This was not a tribal victory.
“We won in places where the opposition has never won in two decades; we won in Alimosho, we won in Ikeja and several other places,” he said.
Speaking on the recently passed Presidential election, The Candidate said Mr Peter Obi’s votes in Lagos were manipulated because results weren’t electronically transmitted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He stated that his party won over 900, 000 votes and this was because the youths came out.
According to him, the party won without any voter inducement, so he would continue to thank the people of Lagos.
Gbadebo rejected the process by which the results were announced because it was not electronically as promised by INEC.
“From our situation room, we see that we won over 900, 000 votes and this was all because you came out.
“This was won without any voter inducement. We cannot stop thanking the good people of Lagos. We made history in that election; we took Lagos State and restored it to the people.
“We unequivocally reject the process by which the results were announced because it was not electronically as promised by INEC.” He said
Meanwhile, he called on Lagosians, especially the youths, not to be deterred by the outcome of Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly election but to come out en masse and vote out the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the guber and state assemblies’ polls.
