He added that it was a slap on the face of democracy.
The LP candidate however hailed Lagosians for their enormous support in the quest to birth a new Nigeria, Rhodes-Vivour popularly known as, GRV, expressed displeasure over violence and gross disenfranchisement of the electorate.
“Firstly, I would like to thank all Lagosians, especially our supporters for coming out to vote yesterday for us. I’m convinced that with you in our corner, a NEW Nigeria is imminent.
“However, I am saddened by the confirmed reports of violence and gross disenfranchisement of voters who only wished to perform their civic duty.
“Attacks on polling units, voters, and our party agents are totally antithetical to what we stand for and what Lagos truly represents.
“Collusion between the ruling party and electoral officials to return the candidate of the APC is a slap on the face of democracy and everyone who came out to vote for us on Saturday,” Rhodes-Vivour wrote.
