Tinubu announced his resolution with Sanwo-Olu during a meeting with members of the Lagos State Governor’s Advisory Council, signaling an end to the rumored rift between the two leaders.
Babarinde commended Sanwo-Olu’s leadership and achievements as a friend and former schoolmate, emphasizing that the reconciliation is a beacon of hope for the party.
He noted that the rumored rift had caused concern, and that calls for the punishment of an “innocent friend” had been deeply troubling.
“Thankfully, the recent reconciliation between President Tinubu and Governor Sanwo-Olu offers great relief.
“It is a positive sign not just for Lagos, but for Yorubaland and Nigeria as a whole.
“Peace in Lagos means stability for the entire nation. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and Asiwaju of Yorubaland, has once again demonstrated wisdom, forgiveness and political maturity.
He will not regret reuniting with a loyal son like Governor Sanwo-Olu, who worked tirelessly to support him during the 2023 elections, even amidst unexpected setbacks in Lagos,” he said.
According to him, Sanwo-Olu is a humble, principled, and progressive-minded individual and I can confidently vouch for his character.
“If there were missteps, they were certainly not deliberate or intended to hurt Asiwaju Tinubu, and some accusations may have been fabricated by political enemies.
“I have been supporting Sanwo-Olu from outside the country until a few years ago when the governor invited me to return and contribute to his administration.
“While I wasn’t part of his government formally, I supported him from outside and I remain proud of his leadership. We pray that peace and cooperation will continue between the executive and legislative arms in Lagos.
“May the state retain its place as Nigeria’s number one economy and a source of pride for Africa,” the APC chieftain said.
