The Labour Party governorship candidate in the 2023 election in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
He announced the switch at an event held on Saturday in Lagos.
The politician stressed that the decision to join the ADC was part of a broader coalition by the opposition elements in the country.
Some members of the opposition group led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in July adopted the ADC as the platform to wrest power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.

At the event, Rhodes-Vivour called for unity among the opposition politicians ahead of the election.
He said: “I am happy to become part of this family. I’m looking forward to the union and governance that this party will bring to Nigerians. My prayer is that God will grant our leaders and the party’s structure the wisdom to come together and define a new path for our beloved country.
“This is a coalition that is meant to rescue Nigeria. I have said since after the 2023 elections that we cannot afford to divide the opposition going into the next election. We must come together, united through a robust coalition that will stand a chance in 2027 to deliver this country.”
