Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Labour Party, LP, governorship candidate in Lagos state for the 2023 general election, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has said that the party\u2019s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is the leader Nigeria needs.<\/p>\n

Rhodes-Vivour, speaking on the Honest Bunch Podcast, however said Obi is not the politician \u201cwe need for us\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeter Obi is the leader that we need for Nigeria, but not the politician we need for us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Rhodes-Vivour also insisted \u201cPeter (Obi) does not buy votes. He won Lagos without buying votes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obi finished in third position during last year\u2019s polls, behind President Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar.<\/p>\n

On his part, Rhodes-Vivour lost the gubernatorial election to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.<\/p>\n

Rhodes-Vivour challenged the election result all the way to the Supreme Court, where a five-member panel in a unanimous judgment delivered in January 2024, affirmed the declaration of Sanwo-Olu as the winner of the March 18, 2023 governorship election, after dismissing two separate appeals challenging his victory.<\/p>\n
