Ambode joins Fashola, Sanwo-Olu at reception in honour of Tinubu
Immediate past governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has joined his predecessor, Babatunde Fashola, and his successor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at a reception organised in honour of President Bola Tinubu in Lagos.
The trio were seen in a cheerful mood in a video posted on the Twitter handle of Mr. Gboyega Akosile, the Chief Press Secretary to Sanwo-Olu.
Akosile in his tweet post said, “Breaking: Governors Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo-Olu meet at the Lagos House, Marina for the first time in over four years at a reception organised by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in honour of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who’s in Lagos for Sallah celebration.”
In the video, they were joined by the deputy governor of Lagos state, Obafemi Hamzat and Senator Opeyemi Bamidele at the reception venue.
This is coming about 12 days after Governor Sanwo-Olu in a surprise move showed up at the 60th birthday celebration of Ambode.
Recall that former Governor Ambode fell out with President Tinubu’s political camp which included Governor Sanwo-Olu and former Governor Fashola in the build-up to the 2019 governorship election in the state after the All Progressive Congress (APC) denied Ambode reelection.
Ambode had seriously spoken against the governorship ambition of Sanwo-Olu ahead of the primary election of the APC in Lagos.
