Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has hosted his predecessor, Akinwunmi Ambode at the Government House in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.
Sanwo-Olu, in a post on his X account, wrote that he and Ambode discussed “the future of Lagos and building on the solid foundation already in place.
“Today, I welcomed my brother and predecessor, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, back to Lagos House on a courtesy visit.
“Our conversation centred around the future of Lagos and building on the solid foundation already in place. I value his perspective as we all work together to ensure that Lagos remains on the path of growth and development.”
Ambode governed Lagos from 2015 to 2019. He’s the first governor of the state to serve just one term since the return of democracy in 1999.
The courtesy visit was the first time Ambode had publicly met Sanwo-Olu at the Lagos Government House since his inauguration in 2019.
Sanwo-Olu attended the private party hosted to celebrate Ambode’s 60th birthday at the former governor’s residence in June 2023.
Ambode was also at the wedding of Sanwo-Olu’s daughter in Lagos early this year.
