Nollywood actress, Foluke Daramola, has alleged that the gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party in Lagos, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV), sidelined her husband after he was given a party ticket. Foluke's husband, Kayode Salako, had resigned as the chairman of the Labour Party in Lagos State in January 2023 to contest the seat of the Oshodi-Isolo Constituency 1 in the House of Representatives. Salako resigned six months after he was named the party's chairperson in the state.
In a heated exchange with a social media user, Foluke Daramola alleged that GRV became tribalistic after being handed a party ticket by her husband. She stated that he replaced House of Assembly candidates that were Yorubas with Igbo candidates.
In her words, "Take your time, oh! Don't insult me on my page. And I say a big amen to your prayers. God will reward me according to the work of my hands. I know Gbadebo very well. My husband gave him that ticket, and what did he do next? He removed my husband and the Labour Party chairman because he's not Ibo. And all the Yoruba house of assembly candidates, he took their tickets to put Igbo candidates there. And you dare come to my page to insult me??!!!... Let's be guided, oh! Abeg."
