Obi is the leader we need but not the politician we need – Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Lagos State for the 2023 general election, has expressed his belief that Peter Obi, the party’s presidential candidate, is the ideal leader for Nigeria.

However, during an interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast, Rhodes-Vivour also mentioned that while Obi is a capable leader, he might not be the politician best suited for their specific needs.

“Peter Obi is the leader that we need for Nigeria, but not the politician we need for us,” he said.

Rhodes-Vivour also insisted “Peter (Obi) does not buy votes. He won Lagos without buying votes.”
