Tinubu, Ambode Meet As Sanwo-Olu Hosts President
The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Thursday, hosted President Bola Tinubu at the Lagos House, Marina.
Sanwo-Olu was joined by his predecessors, former governors Babatunde Fashola and Akinwunmi Ambode.
This was the first time since Ambode left office in 2019 that all the four governors of the state since 1999 would be seen together at a public event.
The governor, in his speech, expressed his delight to welcome the President “to the place he (Tinubu) calls home.”
He lauded the President for the steps taken so far within his first 30 days in office, saying that it was indeed a season of “renewed hope.”

He expressed “heartfelt gratitude on behalf of all Lagosians” to the President and pledged that “Lagos is standing right behind you…we stand in solidarity with your leadership.”
