Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has held a meeting with his predecessor, Akinwunmi Ambode, over the “future of Lagos”.
The two members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) were not on good terms, in the build up to the 2019 governorship election in the state.
But their occasion suggests the politicians have sheath their swords.
“Today, I welcomed my brother and predecessor, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, back to Lagos House on a courtesy visit,” an elated Sanwo-Olu captioned social media photos of himself and his predecessor.
“Our conversation centred around the future of Lagos and building on the solid foundation already in place. I value his perspective as we all work together to ensure that Lagos remains on the path of growth and development.”
Monday’s meeting came over one year after Sanwo-Olu and Ambode met publicly at a reception organised in honour of President Bola Tinubu at the Lagos House in the Marina area of the state in June 2023.
It was the first time Sanwo-Olu, Ambode and another ex-Lagos governor Babatunde Fashola met in over four years since the wind of internal wrangling slapped the ruling political class in the state.
