The Lagos State Labour Party (LP) candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour has been cautioned by the All Progressive Congress (APC) against saying or doing anything that could disturb the peace in the State.
The party responded to the LP candidate’s assertion that he had won the election in a statement that was signed by its spokesperson, Seye Oladejo.
According to Oladejo, Rhodes-Vivour threatened to make the state unruly if the election results did not go in his party’s favor. He said such behavior is not indicative of the views of genuine and charitable Lagosians.
“That is not who we are,” he said. He said the results of the Governorship and House of Assembly elections were the realistic and true reflection of the preference of the electorate.
Oladejo added that the results were a referendum on the remarkable achievements of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his team who excelled in the face of daunting odds.
He said: “It was a vote for tested, trusted, compassionate and committed leadership rather than an infantile and needless experiment that was bound to set our state back.
“Lagosians spoke eloquently and loudly for a candidate who understands their expectations with the institutional experience to move our state forward.
“While we understand the shock that came with the disappointment of the crash of the crass opportunism as a result of falsehood and propaganda, the experience of Rhodes-Vivour’s four earlier electoral losses should come handy.
“We want to appreciate Lagosians who trooped out to vote for our party as an expression of confidence to continue on the path of progress that has given our state a pride of place in the federation.
“We want to assure all and sundry that trust and confidence will never be taken for granted. We will definitely fulfill our part of the social contract.”
