Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The 2023 Labour Party candidate for the just concluded gubernatorial election in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has insisted what happened in the state was a war, not a poll.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Arise Television\u2019s morning show on Friday, Rhodes-Vivour also said that the responsibility of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) must improve amid the election\u2019s conduction.<\/p>\n

Rhodes-Vivour said, \u201cWhat happened in Lagos was a war on Lagosians no matter how they want to colour it or module the waters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Ikoyi, there were Yoruba people who were beaten and affected by thugs and hooligans that came into the place.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook at what happened VCG as well and the complicity of INEC as well in this process need to be taken up so that If they want to try anything next time they would do things differently, give a perception of equity, fairness and justice, not these brazing rip over democracy in Lagos State.\u201d<\/p>\n

The INEC had in March declared Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the winner of the Lagos gubernatorial election.<\/p>\n

Sanwo-Olu scored a total of 762,134 to defeat the first runner-up, the Labour Party\u2019s Rhodes-Vivour, who polled 312,329 votes, while Abdulazeez Adeniran of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, got 62,449 votes.<\/p>\n
