Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour has clinched the governorship ticket of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), following a decisive victory in the party’s primary election held amid heightened political realignments within the opposition landscape.
Rhodes-Vivour, widely known as GRV, secured 12,948 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Silas, who polled 6,183 votes in a contest that party officials and observers described as peaceful, orderly, and transparent.
His emergence formally positions him as the ADC candidate ahead of the 2027 governorship election, further consolidating his place as one of the leading opposition figures in Lagos politics.
The primary outcome also comes against the backdrop of shifting alliances within the broader opposition, particularly following the exit of Peter Obi from the ADC-aligned political coalition space, a development that has triggered defections and reconfigurations across party lines.
