The Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate in the 2023 Lagos election, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has condemned the forceful takeover of the Lagos State House of Assembly, describing it as an assault on democratic institutions and the rule of law.
Papers News reports that Rhodes-Vivour, in a statement released on Saturday expressed deep concern over the development, warning that a dangerous precedent was being set.
“What we witnessed at the House of Assembly represents a troubling pattern where might is increasingly valued over right. This forceful seizure of the legislative chambers undermines the very foundations of our democracy and sends a disturbing message about how power is wielded in our state,” he said.
