Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivor is currently the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate in Lagos state.
Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has claimed that the last name ‘Vivor’ comes with a strong pedigree in Lagos.
He went on to elaborate, saying Vivors are people who endured slavery and made it back to Lagos more than a century ago as survivors.
His statement comes after people made false claims that Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivor who is currently the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate in Lagos state is not from the state.
Reno took to Twitter and wrote:
“Anybody with the last name Vivor has a very strong Lagos pedigree. The name is short for Survivor. The Vivors are people who endured slavery and made it back to Lagos more than a century ago as survivors. Rhodes-Vivor means they survived Rhodes and lived to tell.
