Rhodes-Vivour says he won Lagos governorship election, to challenge Sanwo-Olu victory

The Labour Party’s governorship candidate in Lagos State, Mr Rhodes-Vivour, says he won the March 18 governorship election, vowing to challenge the results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

In a series of tweets on Sunday, Mr Rhodes-Vivour said he was convinced that he won the election.

He tweeted, “In the light of this, I am convinced beyond any doubt that the results being released by INEC do not represent the wishes of the majority of peaceful Lagosians.

“More so the results from our field agents and situation room indicated that we won this election.

“I am a champion of the people, we are far from done. Do not lose hope, do not waver.

“This is not over, we have not come this far to accept outright lies, criminality and falsehoods. A fight for freedom is never easily won.”

The state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who is seeking declared the winner of the poll, and won 19 of 20 local government areas in the state.

Olajide Adediran of the PDP, the third major candidate in the election, did not win any council.

The LP candidate who won Amuwo-Odofin LGA said the abuse of power by APC and electoral officials is a “slap on the face of democracy.”
