Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, a governorship candidate in Lagos State associated with the Labour Party’s past campaign, says he will remain with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) despite political defections and realignments. In statements reported by both Vanguard and The Punch, he dismisses any suggestion that he is leaving the party, reiterating his membership of the ADC.
Both outlets frame the remarks as part of broader movement within Nigeria’s political landscape, where candidates and party members sometimes shift allegiances. Rhodes-Vivour presents his decision as a continuation of his current political position, emphasizing commitment to the ADC and, as The Punch puts it, loyalty to the coalition.
The reports do not provide details on the extent of the defections or whether any specific figures have left ADC. They also do not announce any new party changes, focusing instead on Rhodes-Vivour’s clarification that he intends to stay in the ADC.
