Here is what Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour wrote on his official X handle;
“It has come to my attention that the ruling APC has orchestrated a smear campaign in an attempt to tarnish my reputation through baseless and malicious character assassination. This planned campaign is a clear act of desperation to distract the public from the party’s glaring incompetence and lack of innovative solutions for the suffering of our people and our nation’s pressing issues. During the campaign, while I appeared on several debate platforms and engaged various stakeholders on our policy solutions, the APC focused on spreading lies, hate and fear. They lied about my family heritage and twisted my comments to suit their deceitful narrative. They viciously attacked my family with untruths and defamatory remarks all in an attempt to distract the public from issues that really matter, issues that we are all now forced to deal with”….Seë_Morë
