Former governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode, has made a remarkable return to the frontline politics – he (Ambode) broke the jinx on Thursday after meeting President Bola Tinubu in Lagos.
The duo met at a reception organised by Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu in honour of Tinubu.
Ambode’s presence at the event marked the first time he would be visiting Sanwo-Olu at state House since he left office over four years ago as Governor.
Acknowledging Ambode’s presence at the event, Tinubu said, “. I’m glad to see Ambode. Thank you Akin!”
The event was held to welcome Tinubu, who was visiting the state for the first time as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria during the Sallah break.
Tinubu had on Tuesday, returned to Lagos after seven-day trip abroad.
Recall that there were speculations over strained relationship between the incumbent Governor, Sanwo-Olu and his immediate predecessor, Ambode over the controversial manner he (Ambode) was displaced as governor, denying him of a second term in office.
