Former governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour has reacted to the alleged illegal demolition of a company belonging to a younger brother of former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi.
Naijaonpoint understands that the property was pulled down by the Lagos State Government in the Ikeja area of the state.
Obi had in a statement on Tuesday lamented the unlawful demolition of his brother’s property.
Speaking on the development via a post on X, Gbadebo stated that he is “deeply saddened by this level of lawlessness and recklessness, a notorious pattern of irresponsibility that has now been normalized by the parasitic culture of the ruling party.”
According to him, data at both the state and national levels show the “steep price the Nigerian people have had to pay for the APC’s reckless disregard for the rule of law and due process. The cost has been an exit of multinationals and a drought in the inflow of foreign direct investments.
“The consequence has been job losses and one of the highest poverty rates in the world.
“Lagos must be a state that values property rights and adheres strictly to the rule of law. Unfortunately, the state is being governed by juvenile and myopic politicians who are preoccupied with only that which they can extract from the system.
“It’s a total shame and this recklessness should stand condemned by all. #OurLagos.”
