Oladejo                Rhodes-Vivour          Gbadamosi   Seye Oladejo, Lagos APC Spokesman The Rhodes-Vivour/Gbadamosi ticket may have given Lagos opposition politicians something new to celebrate, but Lagosians should not mistake the unveiling of a ticket for the unveiling of a pathway to Lagos House. A ticket is not a political structure. A coalition is not a governing record. Social-media visibility is not grassroots strength. And ambition is not experience. The latest opposition permutation is particularly interesting because it brings together two politicians whose journeys have been marked by repeated movement across political platforms and electoral contests. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour contested the 2019 Lagos West Senatorial election on the KOWA platform, moved to the PDP, later emerged as Labour Party’s 2023 governorship candidate and has now settled in the ADC. He is again the party’s 2027 Lagos governorship can...
