- The two leaders held a deep conversation around the development of Lagos State
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, hosted his predecessor, Akinwunmi Ambode, at the State House, Lagos, on Monday.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, disclosed this in a post on X.com, stating that the courtesy visit saw the two leaders engage in extensive discussions centred on the progress and future of Lagos State.
Akosile wrote, “Today, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu received his predecessor in office, HE Akinwunmi Ambode, who came on a courtesy visit.
“The two leaders held a deep conversation around the development of Lagos State, her economic trajectory, and position as a socio-political stabiliser in the subregion.
“Mr. Governor continues to receive support and encouragement from well-meaning Lagosians and Nigerians on the way he’s been handling the different vertical of development, including security, economy, culture and tourism.”
The duo had met in June when Sanwo-Olu graced Ambode’s 60th birthday party in Lagos.
Same month, Sanwo-Olu was joined by Ambode and former Governor Babatunde Fashola at a reception organised in honour of President Bola Tinubu in Lagos.
It was the first time since Ambode left office in 2019 that all four governors of the state since 1999 would be seen together at a public event.
