‘Your sins are forgiven’- Tinubu to Sanwo-Olu

President Bola Tinubu says he is no longer angry with, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu

According to THISDAY, Tinubu said all of Sanwo-Olu’s sins had been forgiven during a meeting with the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) on Sunday in Lagos.

Sanwo-Olu and members of the GAC had visited President Bola Ahmed at his residence in Ikoyi, Lagos, amid a rumoured feud between him and the president.

The newspaper quoted multiple sources that during the meeting, Tinubu said he was no longer angry with anyone, let alone Sanwo-Olu.

“It’s all over now. All is forgiven,” Tinubu reportedly said.

Afterwards, Sanwo-Olu and other members of the GAC prostrated themselves before the president to appease him.

One of the sources told THISDAY that during the meeting, the president or governor did not explain what had happened between them.

The stakeholders just pleaded for outright mercy on behalf of the governor, and the president granted it.

The recent development has heightened speculation that Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu were not on good terms since the impeachment of Mudashiru Obasa as Lagos assembly speaker.

Last Saturday, Tinubu snubbed Sanwo-Olu during the inauguration of the completed phase 1, section 1 of the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway.

The event was attended by top members of the APC, including former Senate President Ahmed Lawan, Zulum, Douye Diri, governor of Bayelsa, and Bassey Otu, governor of Cross River.

Tinubu exchanged pleasantries by shaking hands with the dignitaries but ignored the Lagos governor and extended a handshake directly to greet Ahmed Ododo, the governor of Kogi, who was next in line.

On Thursday, the Lagos governor was absent when President Bola Ahmed flagged off the reconstruction of the deep seaport access road in the state.
