Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Lagos State, has defended his proposal to provide a house for every graduate, dismissing criticism that the plan is unrealistic.
The proposal came up during a Lagos governorship debate, where Rhodes-Vivour said his administration would build houses for graduates until they were ready to get married.
A man later criticised the pledge in a post on X on Monday, November 9, 2026, describing it as economically unviable and impossible to implement.
He wrote, “This is economic suicide, not possible, not achievable”.
Responding to the criticism on his official X account, Rhodes-Vivour argued that affordable housing was achievable, pointing to the record of countries that had implemented similar policies. He also accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of failing to provide adequate social and affordable housing in Lagos despite years in power.
Rhodes-Vivour contrasted the party’s record with that of former Lagos State governor Alhaji Lateef Jakande, whom he credited with delivering more than 20,000 housing units in four years.
According to him, “But sadly, our people can’t imagine this because for nearly 26 years in power, the APC has not delivered up 20,000 units of social or affordable housing. Even worse, our people have forgotten that Alhaji Lateef Jakande delivered over 20,000 units in 4 years over 40 years ago”.
