The Lagos State governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has rejected the results of the gubernatorial election being announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

VerseNews Nigeria earlier reported that from the results of 19 Local Government Area (LGA) out of 20, the incumbent governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of All progressive Congress (APC) leads with wide margin of votes.

Reacting to results announced by INEC, GRV said his supporters were intimidated and disenfranchised at their various polling units and were not allowed to vote.

He considered the results announced by INEC as outright lies, criminality and falsehood. He vowed to fight back, for freedom and a new Nigerian.
