No Rifts Between Me and Tinubu - Sanwo-olu Insists

 

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has insisted that he enjoys a father-son relationship with President Bola Tinubu against the speculation about possible rifts between them.

The purported rift was fueled last week when Tinubu deliberately snubbed Sanwo-Olu during handshakes at the inauguration of the Lagos-Calabar Expressway Phase 1 in Lagos State.

In a viral video, the president while entering the venue was seen shaking hands with some state governors and dignitaries and when he got to where Sanwo-Olu was, he bowed his head in a bid to greet Mr President but Tinubu snubbed him.

Tinubu moved to shake hands with the next person who is the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi before sitting down.

Since then, there have been reports of a rift between Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu.

But, Sanwo-Olu while addressing newsmen after leading members of the Governor Advisory Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to pay Sallah Homage to Tinubu in Lagos, dismissed the claim.

 “There is nothing at all; he is my father, he is my leader, and we’re grateful that he has given us audience today.”
