Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Thursday hosted his predecessors Akinwunmi Ambode and Babatunde Fashola among others at the Lagos House, Marina.
It was the first time in over four years that all three of them would be in the same location, according to Mr Sanwo-Olu’s media adviser Gboyega Akosile.
Mr Akosile shared on social media a video of the event organised in honour of President Bola Tinubu who is in Lagos for Sallah celebration.
In the video, Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo-Olu pose for photos. Afterwards, the governor shows Ambode around.
“Governors Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo-Olu meet at the Lagos House, Marina for the first time in over four years at a reception organized by Governor @jidesanwoolu in honour of President @officialABAT, who’s in Lagos for Sallah celebration,” Akosile wrote.
Also present at the reception were Vice President Kashim Shettima and Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma.
Fashola, who turned 60 on Wednesday, was governor of Lagos State from 2007 to 2015. Ambode took over from 2015 to 2019 but fell out with Lagos APC leadership and could not get the party’s ticket for a second term, prompting Sanwo-Olu to emerge as the party’s governorship candidate. Sanwo-Olu has been governing Lagos since then.
