Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour has criticized the Federal Government’s reforms, arguing that they are only benefiting a select few.
Since taking office in May 2023, President Bola Tinubu’s administration has introduced a series of reforms, including the removal of the fuel subsidy and the floating of the naira.
However, Rhodes-Vivour, who was the Lagos Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate in the 2023 election, contended that these measures have caused widespread hardship for the majority of Nigerians.

“The people are experiencing unprecedented hardship. Today, over 70 per cent of people’s income is spent on transportation and food. They’ve not even started to think about how they can afford accommodation,” the LP chieftain said on Thursday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today.
“We have a situation where there is a culture of wastefulness, and extravagance that does not reflect the dire economic situation that the same President is pushing out that needs to be reformed.
“The only people that seem to be benefitting from these reforms are maybe the bankers, the people in government, and the President’s friends. How many Nigerians can say they are benefitting from any reform any reform right now?”
