Lagos State governor-elect, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has put to
rest the rumours peddled by people that there are issues going on between
himself and the outgoing governor of the state, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
This is was made known by his spokesman, Gboyega Akosile in
a statement on Monday, who described the relationship between the duo as a
cordial one.
Akosile assured that the two leaders were in constant
communication and were working on modalities for a smooth transition.
He said: “I can confirm that Mr. Sanwo-Olu and Governor
Ambode are in constant touch with each other. They are working quietly behind
the scene to come up with a smooth transition.
“They are talking majorly about the composition of the
transition committee that will work on the seamless hand-over on May 29th this
year. There is no rift of any sort between the Governor-Elect and the sitting
Governor.
“I can speak authoritatively that the Governor-elect does
not think about all that happened during the campaign period, rather his mind
is fixed on the future of Lagos State.
“Mr. Sanwo-Olu’s thoughts are pre-occupied with the daunting
challenges that are ahead of him and how he will harness the available human
and material resources to achieve his campaign promises of a greater Lagos for
all.’
‘’Very soon, Lagosians will be availed the details of all
the positive things that our leaders have been working on in the background.
