Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 governorship election in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has launched a new establishment in the state.
The politician, on Monday, launched a micro healthcare insurance scheme in Kosofe Local Government Area of the state with the name ‘Health for All Kosofe’.
Rhodes-Vivour said the establishment seeks to bridge the healthcare gap in the neglected community by providing affordable and accessible health insurance to the economically disadvantaged in the area.
According to them, the APC is under increased scrutiny and facing mounting pressure to respond with its own initiatives to address the healthcare challenges facing Kosofe.
A member of the Labour Party and a volunteer, Monye Morris, who reportedly spoke to the media said the move into healthcare has set the stage for a new kind of people-centric politics void of tokenism.
He said, “The kind of commendation and prayers we have been getting shows that this initiative promises to be a turning point in the local narrative of not just Kosofe but the entire Lagos politics.”
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, is said to have described the health insurance scheme as a political gimmick to remain relevant in Lagos State after his defeat in the 2023 governorship poll in March.
