Rhodes‑Vivour’s Claim: “Opposition figures working to unseat Tinubu”
Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV), the 2023 Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos State, has stirred political waters again with fresh comments.
🗣️ What GRV Said:
GRV recently claimed that certain opposition figures — even within government structures — are actively plotting to remove President Bola Tinubu from office.
While he didn’t mention specific names, he warned that:
There is a calculated and coordinated effort to destabilize Tinubu’s presidency.
Some of these individuals were once close allies of the president but have now turned against him for personal or political reasons.
🧠 Possible Interpretations:
GRV may be referring to internal rifts within the APC (like the Ganduje crisis, or friction between Tinubu and certain governors or northern blocs).
Or he may be speaking more broadly about the opposition coalition (PDP + LP factions) working toward 2027.
🔥 Why This Matters:
This is coming at a time when the APC is battling serious internal tensions, especially after recent resignations and defections.
It also reflects how 2027 power moves are already in motion, just a year into Tinubu’s presidency.
GRV is signaling that Labour Party is watching and possibly repositioning itself as a political watchdog or future contender.
