Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s 2023 governorship candidate in Lagos State, has hinted at the possibility of running for governor again in 2027. In an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, he expressed his continued interest in leading the state, stating, By God’s grace, yes, when asked about his chances of contesting the governorship in 2027.

Rhodes-Vivour emphasized that he has not given up on his ambition to govern Lagos, but highlighted the need for unity among opposition parties to make his bid successful. I believe that if all parties do not come together, it is going to be a waste of time running in 2027 because there is a full state capture happening in this country now, he said.

He stressed the importance of building a strong Labour Party as a foundation for his future political plans, reiterating that his immediate focus is on ensuring the party’s strength ahead of the 2027 elections.
