Right of first refusal

Dear PAO,

In my lease contract, a provision for the exercise of the right of first refusal was expressly agreed upon. It came to my knowledge, however, that my lessor intends to sell the leased premises to his relative. My lessor claimed that I cannot invoke my right of first refusal since the right of his own kin to his property prevails over our agreement. Is my lessor correct in saying so?
