By Damilare Adeleye

The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwanu Akiolu, on Thursday, received the Labour Party ( LP) governorship candidate in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV) during a campaign visit to his palace.

The LP governorship candidate was accompanied on the visit by his father Olawale Rhodes-Vivour and some party chieftains ahead of the March 11 governorship election.

The visit, which took place at the Iga-Iduganran Palace of Oba of Lagos, was purposely deemed necessary to pay respect to the Lagos monarch and other traditional rulers.

Sharing photos from the visit, Gbadebo via his Twitter handle on Thursday expressed optimism, adding that he looks forward to working with the traditional ruler.

He tweeted: “I was accompanied by my father and team to visit and pay our respects to the Oba of Lagos, we indigenous Lagosians will always respect and revere our traditional rulers, and I look forward to working with them to build a better Lagos.”
