Intrigues As President Tinubu Meets Sanwo-Olu, Fashola, Ambode

Ambode was the governor of Lagos State between 2015 and 2019 but could not secure the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for his second-term ambition.

He was said to have fallen apart with Tinubu and the leadership of the APC in Lagos while in office as governor and this led to the endorsement of Sanwo-Olu by the party leaders in the build-up to the 2019 elections when Sanwo-Olu was first elected.
