Hey guys, just heard the sad news that Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Lagos ADC governorship candidate, has lost his mother, Nkechi Stella Rhodes-Vivour. May her soul rest in peace. I was really looking forward to seeing how his campaign would unfold, but now I'm not sure how this will affect his plans.
As they say, 'when life gives you lemons, make lemonade', but it's not easy to do that when you're grieving. I can only imagine how tough this must be for him and his family.
I've been following his campaign and I think he has some really great ideas for Lagos, but this must be a difficult time for him. *My thoughts are with him and his family*.
Here are some key things to know about Nkechi Stella Rhodes-Vivour:
* She was a pillar of strength for her family
* Her funeral arrangements are yet to be announced
* Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour has not made any official statements about how this will affect his campaign
I think it's interesting that we often talk about the importance of family in Nigerian culture, but we don't always consider how that affects our politicians. I mean, can you imagine having to campaign for governor while planning a funeral?

I'm not sure what the future holds for Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour's campaign, but I do know that he has my sympathy during this difficult time. *What do you guys think - will this affect his chances of winning the election?*
