Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the 2023 gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Lagos State, has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of corruption.
He stated that they have utter disregard for Nigerians, emphasizing that it is time to remove the party from power.
The politician stated this while reacting to allegations that the Lagos State House of Assembly, under the leadership of the impeached former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, spent ₦17 billion to construct a gate.
Speaking via his X account, Rhodes-Vivour argued that the ₦17 billion could have been better utilized to build a standard school in each of the state’s local governments.
He added that it could have covered the salaries and welfare of every teacher in Lagos for an entire year.
He wrote, “How does any reasonable representative, who feels the pulse of his/her constituents agree to spend N17 billion on a gate?
“An amount that can build a standard school in every local government in Lagos. That Amount can pay for the salaries and welfare of every teacher in Lagos for a whole year.
“The level of corruption in the APC and the audacity with which they carry on demonstrates their complete disregard for citizens, most of whom they view as subjects. These parasites must be fumigated out of office in Lagos.”
