The All Progressives Congress has described former Labour Party governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, as a politician with no ideology or direction.
The party spokesman in Lagos, Seye Oladejo, said this in a statement on Tuesday in response to Mr Rhodes-Vivour’s defection from the LP to the African Democratic Congress on Saturday.
“From his forgettable beginnings in the obscure Kowa Party to his short-lived PDP romance to his opportunistic hijack of the Labour Party’s ticket in 2023 and now to ADC, Rhodes Vivour has jumped more parties than a restless frog hopping from one lily pad to another.
“Each move leaves behind chaos, betrayal, and laughter from the people who see through his charade. Let us be clear: Rhodes-Vivour is not building a political career; he is on a political scavenger hunt.
“He is forever in search of the next platform to abuse and abandon, the next slogan to parrot, and the next crowd to mislead. His politics has no ideology, no direction, and certainly no loyalty – only the blind pursuit of personal ambition,” APC said.
The APC statement also mentioned that the former LP governorship flagbearer could not be trusted to honour commitments at the level of leadership.
It urged the LP not to cry over Mr Rhodes Vivour’s defection to ADC, as it would amount to nothing.
“What else do you (LP) expect from a man whose only political strategy is haste–haste to jump ship, haste to cut corners, haste to claim what he has not worked for? For the avoidance of doubt, Lagos is not a laboratory for serial defectors. Governance is serious business, not a reality TV show where Gbadebo can change costumes every season.
“The Labour Party need not cry over a candidate who arrived on a night bus, snatched its gubernatorial ticket and left before dawn,” the party added.
According to the statement, Lagos residents will continue to keep faith in the APC and not invest their trust in political parties or politicians who cannot protect their interests.
