*Announces, “Lagos people, Gbadebo is your candidate”

*As resilient youth, untainted Lagos indigenes set for Alausa

Chief Ayo Adebanjo, a lawyer and respected Ijebu, Ogun State born, is one of non-indigenous Yoruba Lagosians, who have seen wisdom in pushing full blooded Lagos indigenes forward to lead the administration of their constitutionally bequeathed state, while they follow.

 

Resilience of the rainbow of diverse people mainly youths, led by an “indisputably Omo Eko Pataki” and Labour Party Governorship Candidate in Saturday’s elections in Lagos State – Architect Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour – to take over the reigns of power in the state, received a boost on Monday with Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, formally presenting Gbadebo to Lagosians as their candidate.

The ethnic nationality group, not only presented Gbadebo but also, endorsed the Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos as the way to go at the polls.

Afenifere Leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, made the statement of endorsement when Architect Rhodes-Vivour paid a courtesy visit to his home on Monday.

Adebanjo described Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour as a true Yoruba blood and appealed to Lagos voters to vote him as the new Governor of the state during the governorship election, which holds on March 11.

He announced, “Lagos people, Gbadebo is your candidate.”

He added that Rhodes-Vivour would be victorious in the Saturday’s poll.

“Gbadebo, except they are going to cheat (do any “mago mago”). The result of next Saturday will shock them. Let them bring all the battalions from anywhere they will meet us,” he said.

Chief Ayo Adebanjo, a lawyer and respected Ijebu, Ogun State born, is one of non-indigenous Yoruba Lagosians, who have seen wisdom in pushing full blooded Lagos indigenes forward to lead the administration of their constitutionally bequeathed state, while they follow.

The Yoruba elder strongly advised the security operatives and the police to protect the lives of citizens and not just ignore the threats from thugs, who are planning to disrupt the electoral process in Lagos on Saturday.

He asked the security operatives to be on standby, warning that the people would be forced to resist any attack from invaders during the voting process.

“I want to warn the police because, during the general elections, the Commissioner of Police said they had sent police officers to Lagos, and when they were killing people, they folded their hands,” he said.

“They should not set Lagos on fire, but if you push anybody to the wall, they will resist, let the security operatives beware,” he added.

Speaking in Yoruba, Chief Adebanjo said he is aware of Rhodes-Vivour’s family background while assuring voters that his preferred candidate is a son of the land.

“Lagos people, Gbadebo is your candidate. You have no other candidate in Lagos except Gbadebo.

“We know his father and mother. We know his relatives in Lagos. There are some candidates that cannot point to their father’s house in Lagos,” Adebanjo said.
