A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Bode George, has said that there is a “grand design” to “secretly eliminate” Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Lagos State Governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) ahead of the guber polls this coming Saturday, March 11, 2023.
While speaking at a press conference in Lagos on Monday, March 6, 2023, George declared that if anything happens to Rhodes-Vivour, Nigerians “should know who to hold”.
“We wish to inform Nigerians about the heinous plan to secretly eliminate the Labour Party Governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the latest move by the take Lagos occupiers; to take him out of circulation before the election on Saturday.
“We, hereby, warn that should anything happen to this vibrant bonafide Lagosian, who fate has thrown up to free our dear state from the stranglehold of marauders, Nigerians should know who to hold,” Goerge said.
The PDP Chieftain also called on Lagosians to shun “divisive politics of annihilation” and come out in large numbers to vote for the LP candidate in the March 11 election.
“As we speak, there are grand designs to provoke the peace-loving Nigerians, whose resolve is to effect change through the ballot box on Saturday, as threats are being issued against voters suspected to be willing to vote against incumbency.
"We equally urge the electorate in Lagos to go out in their numbers on Saturday to vote against the plundering that has bedevilled our prosperous state for over two decades as adequate security is assured to everyone out to exercise their civic responsibility,” he said.
