Recall that Sanwo-Olu replaced Ambode as Lagos governor on May 29, 2019, after defeating the latter in the primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
But on Wednesday, there was no sign of friction between the former rivals as they spoke highly of each other.
Sanwo-Olu thanked God for his immediate predecessor’s sound mind and health on his 60th birthday.

In his response, Ambode appreciated the Lagos governor for his thoughtful visit.
