Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu accompanied President Bola Tinubu to the airport after weeks of speculation about a rift between the two leaders. The handshake snub and Sanwo-Olu’s absence at key events sparked talk, but Tinubu now says the “sins have been forgiven.”
- Tinubu left Lagos for Abuja after a two-week stay.
- During his visit, tensions with Sanwo-Olu became public.
- Tinubu ignored Sanwo-Olu at the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway event.
- Sanwo-Olu also skipped Tinubu’s flag-off of the Epe access road.
- Rift allegedly linked to Obasa’s impeachment and reinstatement.
- Tinubu reportedly reconciled with Sanwo-Olu at a Sunday GAC meeting.
This rare public fallout between Lagos’ top political figures raised eyebrows, especially among APC insiders. With Sanwo-Olu seen at Tinubu’s side on Tuesday, the president’s parting gesture may be as symbolic as it is strategic, but will it hold?
With 2027 political manoeuvres quietly taking shape, observers are asking: is the mending real or a temporary PR fix?
