This is because Labor Party (LP) Lagos gubernatorial candidate Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour is said to be leading other gubernatorial candidates following the result of an online poll.

The poll revealed that Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Adediran Azeez Olajide (also known as Jandor) had 3,250 votes in a distant third place.

It was learned that said survey was launched on December 6, with the sole objective of ensuring excellence in the promotion of credible elections, participatory democracy, human rights and the strengthening of governance institutions for the consolidation of democratic practice in the world.
