Ify Aniebo, wife of Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party's governorship candidate in the 2023 Lagos State election, publicly apologized to a former employee, Chike Jones, who accused her of not paying his salaries.
After her husband intervened and settled the debt, Aniebo expressed remorse on her social media account, acknowledging the need for a different approach in handling the situation. She recognized the teachable moment and pledged to handle such matters more effectively in the future. In her public apology, Aniebo thanked her husband and expressed gratitude for his support, emphasizing their strong partnership.
The controversy gained attention earlier when Jones, a writer and social media manager, claimed he was owed for over eight months, prompting Rhodes-Vivour's intervention and resolution of the outstanding debt.
