In a strongly-worded personal statement released on Monday, prominent Lagos politician and 2023 Labour Party gubernatorial candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, declared his unwavering commitment to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), even as he acknowledged the difficult choices facing opposition figures in Nigeria’s turbulent political landscape.

Titled “A Statement by Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour,” the message, which carries the imprint of his political movement “The House That God Built,” comes amid intense speculations about realignments within the opposition ahead of future elections.
Rhodes-Vivour, widely regarded as a close political ally of Peter Obi, addressed concerns over his political future directly, stating:
“I want to make it clear that I am staying in the African Democratic Congress (ADC). It is the platform we have built, the ground we have fought on, and the vehicle that can take us to victory.”
He described his political journey as one rooted in principle rather than convenience, recounting his transitions from KOWA to PDP, Labour Party, and now ADC. The Rhodes-Vivour scion emphasized that he has never compromised with the ruling APC, even when “billions were placed before me.”
The statement ends on a defiant note:
“This is our moment. This is our stand. And we will not back down.”
Rhodes-Vivour’s declaration is being interpreted as a significant boost to the ADC and a signal to opposition forces, particularly those aligned with the Peter Obi-led movement.
His continued presence in the opposition camp is expected to influence realignment talks as political gladiators begin positioning themselves for the 2027 general elections.
Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour remains one of the most influential opposition voices in Lagos politics, commanding strong support among youths and urban voters.
