President Tinubu ends months of rifts with Governor Sanwo-Olu in Lagos

…..End months of political tension between them.
President Bola Tinubu has declared that he has forgiven Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, putting an end to months of political tension between them.
The reconciliation happened on Sunday, June 8, 2025, at Tinubu’s Queens Drive residence in Ikoyi, Lagos, where Governor Sanwo-Olu and members of the Lagos State Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) visited him to seek peace.

During the meeting, Sanwo-Olu prostrated before the president, lying face down in the Yoruba cultural manner of showing deep apology and respect.
The governor’s gesture was his way of asking Tinubu for forgiveness after months of strained relations.
The closed-door discussion was aimed at resolving the fallout between both men, which began after Sanwo-Olu’s political moves earlier in the year.
THE BEGINNING OF THE RIFT:
In January, it was reported that the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Speaker Mudashiru Obasa was removed, but was eventually reinstated.
Tensions between the president and the governor became more visible in public.
At a recent event, Tinubu was seen avoiding direct interaction with Sanwo-Olu, fueling speculation that the governor could face impeachment or removal before his tenure ends in 2027.
Sanwo-Olu’s political journey is closely tied to Tinubu, who supported him to become governor in 2019 after the exit of Akinwunmi Ambode.
This background made the rift even more sensitive, with many in Tinubu’s circle reportedly disappointed with Sanwo-Olu’s actions.
In seeking reconciliation, Sanwo-Olu was accompanied by loyal APC members who also appealed to Tinubu on his behalf.
According to those present, Tinubu listened and assured the group that he had let go of any anger toward Sanwo-Olu and others involved in the disagreement.
Although details of Tinubu’s exact words were not shared, the governor’s public show of remorse was accepted, and the meeting ended with both sides agreeing to move forward.

Lekki Airport: Residents Call for Compensation Ahead of Demolition

Residents of the Ajiwe community in Ajah, Lagos State, have appealed to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to suspend the planned demolition of their homes for infrastructure projects until they receive adequate compensation.
The affected landlords and tenants claim their properties have been marked for demolition to make way for the Gas Link pipeline and Green Line Rail projects—key components of the new Lagos Airport under construction in Ibeju-Lekki.
Over the weekend, the residents staged a protest along the Abraham Adesanya Expressway, carrying placards with messages such as: “No Demolition Without Compensation,” “We Say No to Gas Link and Rail Project Demolitions Without Compensation,” and “Compensate Us First.”
Kehinde Alakoso, who spoke on behalf of the protesters, acknowledged the public importance of the projects but emphasized the need to account for the human impact.
“These projects may serve the greater good, but the government must also fulfill its legal and moral obligation to compensate displaced residents,” he said.
Alakoso added that formal letters had been submitted to Governor Sanwo-Olu, the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Oluyinka Olumide, and other relevant authorities in the state.
