Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Lagos State for the 2027 elections, says he will contest without the influence of former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi or the “Obidient” movement. In an interview on Channels Television’s “The Morning Brief” on Thursday, Rhodes-Vivour frames his campaign approach around direct engagement with residents, including communities affected by demolitions in Lagos. He says his interactions with affected residents have helped him strengthen relationships at the grassroots level and shape his vision for the state.
Across the reports, both outlets present Rhodes-Vivour’s comments as a clarification of his political positioning ahead of the 2027 contest. They highlight that he attributes his campaign preparation to on-the-ground experience and community outreach, rather than to guidance or alignment with Obi or related political networks. The reports do not include additional details about specific policy proposals or campaign timelines beyond his description of how he plans to run.
