Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s candidate for governor of Lagos State, has admitted that he does not have a godfather, as claimed by Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, better known as Jandor, who is running for governor on the Peoples Democratic Party ticket.
This was disclosed by Rhodes-Vivour on Thursday morning’s Arise News.
On Tuesday, Jandor was cited as saying that godfathers like PDP leader Chief Bode George were endorsing Rhodes-Vivour.
“In the APC, Lagos, I fought against godfatherism. He supported Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the LP against my PDP candidature because I refused to acknowledge (Chief) Bode George as a godfather, according to Jandor.

In his reaction, Rhodes-Vivour disclosed there was no godfather in the LP nor did he have one, adding that he only had mentors and leaders.
Rhodes-Vivour said, “In the Labour Party, there’s no godfather. I have no godfather.
“I had no godfather in PDP. I only had mentors and leaders.
“There were rumours of money being embezzled. Money meant for rally, elections. The narrative he brought to get the ticket was that he would bring half of the APC to add to the PDP.
“That was the story. But all of them have gone back to the APC now. Where is the value?
“He got the ticket because all the leaders of the party on national level, from Ayu, even Obasanjo supported him. And now when tables have turned, he’s talking about godfatherism.”.
