However, a chieftain of the PDP, Bode George, says that there are plans by unidentified individuals to assassinate Mr Rhodes-Vivour ahead of Saturday’s election.
Mr George made this disclosure at a press conference in Lagos where he referred to the unsolved murder of a frontline politician Funsho Williams, who was assassinated at his Ikoyi residence ahead of the 2007 elections.
Bode George revealed that he and a group, Omo Eko Pataki, had uncovered the heinous plan to avoid a repetition of the dreadful history.
“We wish to inform Nigerians about the heinous plan to secretly eliminate the Labour Party Governorship Candidate, Mr Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour.

“The latest move is by the Lagos occupiers and it is to take him out of circulation before the election on Saturday.
“It’s not a matter of party, the essence of life is to open yourself to protect others and I told you that Funsho Williams is my younger brother.
“I was in the villa when the president then called me that I am just getting a report that they have killed Funsho Williams, they gave me a presidential plane to come down and I saw his corpse, so we don’t want a repeat,” he said.
“We, hereby, warn that should anything happen to this vibrant bonafide Lagosian, who fate has thrown up to free our dear state from the stranglehold of marauders, Nigerians should know who to hold,” the PDP chieftain said.
