Rhodes-Vivour Stays in ADC

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, a former Nigeria — Lagos State governorship candidate for the United Kingdom — Labour Party, is facing criticism from supporters of the Obidient movement for his decision to remain in the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress instead of joining the newly formed Nigeria — African Democratic Congress. Key opposition figures like Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso have already defected to the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress, prompting calls for Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour to follow suit. He has appealed for patience, drawing parallels to his controversial move from the Nigeria — People s Democratic Party to the United Kingdom — Labour Party before the 2023 elections. Supporters argue that the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress lacks the structure to challenge the ruling Nigeria — All Progressives Congress in Nigeria — Lagos State, suggesting that Funso Doherty might become the preferred candidate if he secures the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress governorship ticket. This event highlights ongoing political realignments in Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general elections.
