In reaction to the tweet, Jubril Gawat, the senior special assistant on new media to Lagos State Governor Babatunde Sanwo-Olu, figuratively dismissed the claim.
He tweeted:
"Person wey dey Harbour Point dey enjoy for dem Ashafa Party … DEY PLAY "
The tweet referred to Fashola attending a party organised by a former lawmaker, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, on that day.
Gawat released a follow-up tweet with video evidence of the governor donning a white agbada and a cap and dancing with the host (Senator Ashafa), who was also doing a purple agbada.
