“Lagos Is Not An Internship Centre!” APC Blasts Rhodes-Vivour Over 2027 ADC Ticket.
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has sharply criticized the newly formed African Democratic Congress (ADC) 2027 governorship ticket pairing Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour with Babatunde Gbadamosi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Reacting in a statement issued by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Seye Oladejo, the APC dismissed the alliance as a mere political experiment, emphasizing that governing a major economy like Lagos requires deep administrative experience, fiscal management expertise, and a firm grasp of state bureaucracy.

Lack of Executive Track Record: The APC questioned the candidates’ administrative capabilities, noting that frequent party-hopping does not equate to building strong political institutions or managing complex state infrastructure.
-
Separating Votes from Governance: While acknowledging Rhodes-Vivour’s performance in the 2023 governorship race—where he secured 312,329 votes behind Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s 762,134 votes—Oladejo maintained that strong electoral numbers do not automatically translate to administrative competence.

Acknowledging Short-Term Pain: While recognizing that the removal—initially announced by President Bola Tinubu on May 29, 2023—has brought short-term economic hardship and higher transport costs, Otti insisted that scrapping it remains the correct policy for the nation’s future.
