The perceived discord between President Bola Tinubu and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, has been sorted with the president declaring that his relationship with the governor remains cordial, adding that “it’s all over now. All is forgiven,”

The president made the declaration on Sunday when he received the governor, Speaker of the House of Assembly, Mr Mudashiru Obasa and leadership of Governance Advisory Council, GAC, as they paid Sallah, Eid-el Kabir, homage, at his Ikoyi residence, Lagos.

Prior to yesterday, there have been reports of a cold war between Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu.

The meeting was led by GAC chairman, Prince Tajudeen Olusi.

Other personalities include: Lagos Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat; Chief of Staff to the President, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila; All Progressives Congress, APC, Chairman, Pastor, Cornelius Ojelabi; Senator Tokunbo Abiru, Senator Ganiyu Solomon, Cardinal James Odunmbaku, among others.

Olusi, who welcomed the president to Lagos, said it was obvious he was unhappy with some persons in the state, especially the governor, and, therefore pleaded for mercy.

Tinubu, it was gathered, while responding, said: “It’s all over now. All is forgiven,” affirming that he was not angry with anyone, let alone the governor.

However, multiple sources said Sanwo-Olu and other members of the GAC prostrated to the president in apparent remorse and appeasement.

A source, privy to the meeting, said: “The meeting didn’t entertain a situation where the President or the governor had to start explaining what happened between them.

“They just pleaded for outright mercy on behalf of the governor, and the president granted it.”

Meanwhile, speaking after the meeting, Sanwo-Olu said: “As the tradition during festive periods, whenever he comes around, we come, the GAC, leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to felicitate with Mr President.

“Its something we always look forward to. This is no exception.We have come to pray with him and to tell him that Lagosians are behind him.

“We can see and can feel the impacts of what he has done in the last two years.
“And to continue to tell him he has our best wishes and support always

“And we are really excited because he is our father and leader.”
