The Labour Party (LP) candidate for the March 11 governorship election in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has called on Lagosians, especially the youths, not to be deterred by the outcome of Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly election but come out en masse and vote out the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the guber and state assemblies’ polls.
The LP governorship candidate in Lagos stated this at a press conference in the Lekki area of the state on Wednesday.
He frowned upon voter harassment and intimidation as well as the violence that marred last Saturday’s election in the state. He also tasked the security agencies to protect voters in the state against intimidation and suppression by thugs.
“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.
He said LP presidential candidate Peter Obi’s votes in Lagos were manipulated because results weren’t electronically transmitted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Rhodes-Vivour said, “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 back to the people.
“We unequivocally reject the process by which the results were announced because it was not electronically as promised by INEC.”
