Lagos LP Gov candidate Rhodes-Vivour pays wife’s debt after social media backlash
Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Lagos governorship candidate of the Labour Party in 2023, has paid back his wife’s debt after receiving backlash on social media.
Chike Jones, an X user who worked for Ify and GRV’s project Afroscientric.com as a writer and social media manager, claimed to be owed for over eight months.
Reacting to this, Rhodes-Vivour, wrote: “I have spoken to Chika and extended an olive branch in acknowledgement of an episode that I hope we can put behind us and look to better days ahead.
“The situation has been rectified and his due paid. I also want to express my gratitude to everyone who offered their support in de-escalating this situation.
“I thank Chika for his understanding and willingness to move forward and also thank him for his support during the campaigns.”

Jones provided an update on the situation, on Tuesday stating that Rhodes-Vivour contacted him and settled the debt.
He wrote: “Someone I know who also knows #GRVlagos reached out and arranged a call a few minutes ago. On the call was GRV, his media manager, myself, and the mediator.
“The media manager started by apologising. Then #GRVlagos came on and said he wanted the matter resolved and he would pay the money before today ends. I said no problem but I asked #GRVlagos why #IfyAniebo refused to pay me. The reason given was: She felt unhappy with the work I had done.
“I made it clear that it was both a lie and a wicked thing to say, and there the matter closed. I will be expecting my payment as promised, and once I receive it, I will update this thread with a screenshot.
“Thanks to everyone, friends, strangers, and acquaintances for raising your voice. When you need help, I hope people will raise their voice for you too.”
Sharing further updates on Tuesday, Jones wrote: “I have received payment from #GRVlagos. Screenshot here.
“A final update on this. I have been paid by #GRVlagos. I appreciate him stepping up in a difficult situation. The debt is paid. Ozoemena.”
