EKO HOT BLOG reports that Rhodes-Vivour made it clear that he has no plans to back Tinubu as a means of gaining political advantage in Lagos. According to him, such an idea would amount to a waste of time.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Rhodes-Vivour said his mission in politics is to improve the lives of Lagosians and return the state to the heights it once attained.

“No, I will rather go and focus on my business, my work, and my family. Aligning with Tinubu will be a complete waste of time,” he said when asked if he could adopt Tinubu’s political style in Lagos.

“The reason why we are in politics is to make the lives of Lagosians better. It is to restore Lagos to its old glory, glory that a lot of people might not really be familiar with in terms of the history of Lagos and the greatness that Lagos once was.

“Any party that will not allow me to maximise the commonwealth of Lagos for the benefit of its people is a complete waste of time,” he added.
