Read Time:1 Minute, 29 Second
Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s candidate for governor in Lagos State, has vowed to protect the votes of his backers in the election that was held on Saturday.
On Sunday, he announced this via a tweet on his Twitter profile.
“First off, I want to thank all Lagosians, especially our supporters, for casting their votes for us yesterday,” he stated. With you on our side, I firmly believe that a new Nigeria is just around the corner.
“However, I am saddened by the confirmed reports of violence and gross disenfranchisement of voters who only wished to perform their civic duty.
“Attacks on polling units, voters, and our party agents are totally antithetical to what we stand for & what Lagos truly represents.
“Collusion between the ruling party and electoral officials to return the candidate of the All Progressives Congress is a slap on the face of democracy and everyone who came out to vote for us on Saturday.
“In light of this, I am convinced beyond any doubt that the results being released by the Independent National Electoral Commission do not represent the wishes of the majority of peaceful Lagosians.
“More so, the results from our field agents and situation room indicated that we won this election. I am a champion of the people. We are far from done. Do not lose hope, do not waver.
“This is not over, we have not come this far to accept outright lies, criminality and falsehoods. A fight for freedom is never easily won.”
“Every vote cast for me was done in the face of intimidation and risk of personal harm. Every such vote must count. Defending every one of those votes is a sacred duty. I will defend your votes – this is my vow to every LP voter.”
