Opposition Cannot Be Silenced by Fear, Rhodes Vivour Tells Tinubu’s Allies

Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour reacts to video of NURTW members in Lagos allegedly ordering their members not to work with opposition parties, declaring them enemies of President Tinubu

Gbadebo who ran for Lagos state governor under Labour party during the 2023 general election, shared the video on his X handle this evening and wrote

Violence is the last refuge of incompetence.

The DSS is no doubt aware of the NURTW’s directives to its members, urging them to Attack, hurt, maim, disrupt, intimidate, and harm opposition gatherings in Lagos, As we saw happen at my declaration at Alimosho and now threats after our successful gathering at Ajeromi.

The President and his Lagos APC allies have controlled Lagos state for over 24 years, yet they have no record to campaign on instead they mobilize people like this to stifle opposition, yet send their own children abroad to benefit from good governance.

By labeling opposition voices as “enemies of the President” and threatening those who fail to carry out these acts, the intent is to stifle democracy through fear.

Let it be known that we are not intimidated. We make this statement for the record and to emphatically state that no one has a monopoly on violence. When this movie starts you will quickly realise we are the many you are the few.
