The APC in Lagos State has advised the Labour Party
governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, to approach the courts for
redress on the outcome of the March 18 governorship elections.
The Lagos APC publicity secretary, Seye Oladejo, in a
statement on Thursday, said the LP candidate should accept defeat rather than
expressing bitterness, accusations and distractions against the ruling party.
“Lagos residents will not appreciate further distractions
from you (Rhodes-Vivour) as Gov. Babajide Sanwo-olu focuses on finishing strong
and prepares for a greater Lagos in the next dispensation.
“You may, however, wish to approach the courts and put a
stop to this immature grandstanding,” the APC spokesman said.
Mr Oladejo advised the LP candidate to rather than tender
apologies to Lagos residents; he had allegedly assaulted their sensibilities in
the months leading to the elections.
He alleged that the LP candidate campaign was characterised
by unpretentious hate, religious bigotry and tribal rhetorics.
Mr Oladejo added: “He has refused to be sober and still has
the effrontery to play the victim.
“It is baffling that the law enforcement agencies have not
invited him for questioning for his incitement and call for anarchy because he
lost an election.
“We found it amazing that his understanding of justice and
fairness is when he wins an election by merely leveraging on opportunism and
unsustainable spur of the moment.”
According to him, during the electioneering, Lagos residents
laboured in vain to identify Rhodes-Vivour’s selling points, pedigree and the
substance of his manifesto.
He said that a campaign based on blind, uninformed and
bitter criticism of the ruling party without a credible alternative could only
end in failure.
The spokesman said: “It is now clear to all and sundry that
his interpretation of free and fair elections is only when he wins.
“It was convenient to ignore incidents of violent attacks
and killings of the APC supporters across the state and play the victim by
allegedly visiting unidentifiable and unverifiable patients.”
He said that Rhodes-Vivour’s apprehension about a free and
fair elections under Sen. Bola Tinubu’s Presidency showed him as a poor student
of history.
Mr Oladejo said that Tinubu had unmatchable democratic
credentials built on many years of sacrifice and painstaking service to our
fatherland.
According to him, by voting Tinubu, Nigerians have opted for
a prepared presidency.
He said that Tinubu’s presidency could only usher in
unprecedented development, peace and the restoration of our place of pride in
the comity of nations.
