–– Sanwo Olu while seeing President Tinubu off after Sallah break
By St. Johnson Adegboyega
A widely speculated news of an alleged rift between Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo Olu and his acclaimed political godfather, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was calmed after the governor and members of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) visited Tinubu at his residence in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The meeting comes as speculations about a rift between Tinubu and the Lagos state governor heightened.
However, speaking with journalists after the meeting, Sanwo-Olu said they were there for the “usual festive courtesy visit” to the president.
Asked if there is a feud between him and Tinubu, Sanwo-Olu said the president remains his father and leader.
“Do you see any discord? Can’t you see that you are smiling? I’m smiling. There’s none (feud),” the Lagos governor said.
“There are people who believe that they are more Catholic than the Pope. People are just crying more than the bereaved. We are grateful that he has given us an audience today.”
There have been rumours that the relationship between Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu is not cordial following the impeachment of Mudashiru Obasa as the Lagos house of assembly speaker but Obasa was later restored as the speaker.
Last Saturday, Tinubu snubbed Sanwo-Olu during the inauguration of the completed phase 1, section 1 of the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway.
However, Sanwo Olu further convinced his followers on his Facebook walk as he wrote; “Today, I accompanied His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and saw him off as he departed Lagos following the Sallah break.
I remain dedicated to supporting his efforts and policies, which aim to bring real and lasting change to the lives of Nigerians.
“I wish him safe travels and success in all his engagements. As always, Lagos stands ready to play its part in building the Nigeria we all hope for.”
