Clarification and Response
Recently, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate in the 2023 general elections, disclosed allegations of a smear campaign by the ruling APC intended to damage his integrity and public reputation.

Campaign Misconduct Exposed

They reportedly distorted Rhodes-Vivour’s family heritage and manipulated his statements to suit their deceptive agenda. Additionally, they attacked his family with false and defamatory remarks.
Addressing the Nation’s Real Issues
The APC allegedly obscures serious issues like rising hunger, severe flooding, and unemployment with tactics. The political elite’s alleged opulence and financial irresponsibility exacerbate these issues. Their approach aims to divert attention from these pressing societal challenges. These actions reflect the ruling party’s broader failure to govern effectively and transparently.
