The governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has said that he does not have a political godfather.
He maintained that the claim by the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran (Jandor), that his ambition was being backed up by a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Bode George, was not true.
But Rhodes-Vivour said there was no godfather in the LP nor did he have one. He said he only had mentors and leaders.
“In the Labour Party, there’s no godfather. I have no godfather.
“I had no godfather in PDP. I only had mentors and leaders.
“There were rumours of money being embezzled. Money meant for rally, elections. The narrative he brought to get the ticket was that he would bring half of the APC to add to the PDP.
“That was the story. But all of them have gone back to the APC now. Where is the value?
“He got the ticket because all the leaders of the party on national level, from Ayu, even Obasanjo supported him. And now when tables have turned, he’s talking about godfatherism,” he said.
