GRV’s credibility dwindles following allegations of name inconsistency

The Labour Party gubernatorial candidate in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour alias GRV, faces backlash following inconsistency in his name.

GRV who has proven to be the strongest contender against the incumbent governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu gets called out for using different names across the years.

It would be recalled that opposition supporters once raised awareness about the Labour Party’s candidate’s name Chinedu.

In a recent development, the degree certificate of Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, surfaced which carried the name, Patrick.

Dear Lagosians, in line with my desire to run a transparent and open government.

Here is my certificate from @MIT

I will continue to be open and transparent, especially with my government and governance.

Vote LP 🗳, You can do it, We can do it.

Èkó E dìde!!

Social media users have since made a topic about the inconsistencies in his names at different stages of the governorship candidate’s life.

“3 good different name appearance 🤔
Patrick Rhodes-Vivour – 2008
Gbadebo Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour – 2019
Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour – 2017/2023
I need to know the actual name of my candidate opposition. As it stands, Even with your name, you have no direction,” a social media user wrote in reaction.

Another user added, “Firstly, as a recruiter officer, I would never consider you for a job with this certificate. It does not bear your full name. Secondly, could you share your CV so we could analyze your skills, experience, and competence in relation to the job you applied for?”
