Man accusing Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour’s wife of withholding salary confirms payment

A user on X, Chike Jones, who raised concerns about non-payment of his salary by Ify Rhodes-Vivour,  wife of the Labour Party 2023 governorship candidate in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has confirmed the payment of the outstanding salary.

Jones, who worked as a writer and social media manager for Afroscientric.com, a project owned by Ify Rhodes-Vivour, had earlier alleged that he was owed for over eight months.

Giving an update on the matter on Tuesday Jones, said Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, reached out to him and paid 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 update 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.”
