Reno Omokri has gone on Instagram to make a case for Labour Party’s Lagos governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.
The former presidential aide under the njPDP, rubbished reports made by opponents that Gbedebo Rhodes-Vigour is not from Lagos State.
Reno explained that the politician’s name shows he is one of the original Lagosians.
He wrote;
‘’ Anybody with the last name Vivor has a very strong Lagos pedigree. The name is short for Survivor. The Vivors or Vivours are people who endured slavery and made it back to Lagos more than a century ago as survivors. Rhodes-Vivor could mean they survived Rhodes (possibly a former slave owner, or a name they were given or took) and lived to tell.
I don’t support Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour. I am very much loyal to the Peoples Democratic Party and.I urge all my followers in Lagos to vote PDP from top to bottom. However, I have been a victim of identity politics and nobody should have to go through that. But even if he was Igbo (he is not) and so what? We must make an effort to build a united country, and it takes some give and take.
