The Labour Party, LP, candidate in the 2023 Lagos state governorship election, Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour has reacted after watching a video of some people telling residents to pay N100 to cross a road.
In the video that Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour shared on his page on Wednesday, the residents were being told to pay N100 before they would be allowed to cross under a bridge in Lagos.
Reacting to the video, Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour said that the mindset of “profits at the detriment of the people” must be weeded out. He said there must be consequences for being complicit in imposing mass suffering on the people at all level.
Here is what he wrote on his official X handle;
“This is the parasitic mindset that is crippling this nation. Leaders that would spend 21 billion on one man’s residence in the midst of so much suffering, to those that would harass you for money when your car breaks down on the road, to those that will impose a fee to avoid flooded paths. Anything goes at the detriment of the people. From the Inec staff that helped rig elections to the police that looked the other way. This mindset of “profits at the detriment of the people” must be weeded out. If not, we simply will never grow. At some point, there must be consequences for being complicit in imposing mass suffering on the people at all or any level”.
