Ify Rhodes-Vivour has berated persons she labeled ‘bigots’ for attacking her husband, a contestant in the Lagos governorship election.
The scientist is the wife of Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the candidate of Labour Party, LP, defeated by incumbent Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
In a Twitter post, Ify told those that stood against her spouse to be “consistent with this madness”.
“This is for the Nigerian bigots who say they cannot vote for a man because he doesn’t speak their language.
“I hope you maintain the same energy by receiving medical care only from doctors/surgeons who speak your language.”
She noted that death stared people in the face during the gubernatorial poll, lamenting some people lost their lives.
Ify said elections have consequences and once bigots set a precedent, they have no control over how people react.
The tweet which hit 2 million views early Saturday morning attracted hundreds of reactions in favour of or against.

You have no right to call anyone a bigot madam. I supported your husband
Abeg go sit down somewhere. You want to govern for Yorubaland and you can speak the language? This Igbo bigots like to take other people for granted . Sardauna said it best in the 60s about Igbos. Ify abi Wetin be your name , you and Chinedu pack your load and go back to Anambra to contest. 🙄🙄Oniranu.
These people…when obi won Lagos in the presidential election, GRV became cocky, rude and arrogant. Thank goodness Lagos dodged the bullet
