Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, Labour Party, LP governorship candidate in the 2023 Lagos State election has lashed out at popular comedian, Seyi Law over the claim that he, Rhodes-Vivour would have sent traditional rulers including the revered Oba of Lagos packing had he won the 2023 governorship election.

He stated this while reacting to an allegation from the comedian, claiming that he threatened to make traditional rulers “go under the bridge” if he won the 2023 governorship election in Lagos state.

The politician insisted that Seyi Law was interested in spreading falsehood, hate and bigotry.

He shared a Update where he promised to restore the autonomy and authority of the traditional rulers, which was undermined by colonisers and adopted by subsequent governments.

According to him, restoring the authority of traditional rulers gives them the power to act without getting clearance from state governments.

He wrote, “Hear yourself and decide whether to reward a party and their vile and dishonest supporters who spread falsehood, hate and bigotry. Or we can embrace a vision for Lagos where no one is left behind.”

IPOB Asks Justice Nyako To Step Down From Kanu’s Case

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is requesting the removal of Justice Binta Nyako from the case of their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Lifestyle Nigeria reports that according to IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, the group believes that Justice Nyako has been “compromised” by the Federal Government, making it impossible for her to deliver a just verdict in the case.

Because of this, Biafrans worldwide are demanding that Justice Nyako step down from the case.

IPOB has alleged that Justice Nyako is under pressure from the Federal Government of Nigeria to imprison an innocent man to save her husband and son from the EFCC.

The statement said, “The global family of IPOB demands that Justice Binta Nyako step down from Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case. Nyako is already compromised because the Federal Government of Nigeria is pointing a gun at her head to jail Kanu to free her husband and son from their EFCC case.

“IPOB will never allow the Federal Government to use our leade as bait to entice Nyako to carry out their ugly agenda. Kanu cannot be sacrificed to save the corrupt and treasury looters. Kanu has not committed any offence known to the law. His only offence is that he is championing Biafra’s self-determination movement.

“Justice Nyako must understand that Kanu belongs to every South Easterner and they don’t want to see anything ugly happen to him. The calamity that will befall the country will be better imagined. President Bola Tinubu and Nyako must save the country by releasing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”
