Recall that Mr. Gbadebo had contested under the umbrella of Labour Party in 2023 governorship election in the state.

The former candidate of the LP came distance second and lost to the incumbent, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, of the ruling All Progressives Congress.

He polled 312,329 votes behind APC’s Sanwo-Olu who had 762,134 votes.

Speaking during an interview on Channels TV’s program on Thursday, Gbadebo said that he wouldn’t give up on actualising his ambition to be Lagos State Governor.

He stated that there is need for a united opposition to counter the current full state capture of Nigeria’s political system by APC.

Gbadebo said: “By God’s grace, yes. I believe that if all parties do not come together, it is going to be a waste of time running in 2027 because there is a full state capture happening in this country now.

“We cannot afford for the opposition to be separate. For now, my job is to ensure that I have a strong party, Labour Party.”
