President Muhammadu Buhari is currently in a closed-door meeting with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) over the fate of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State who is seeking a second term in office.
A source in the presidency who spoke with Daily Independent said he is hopeful that the crisis between Tinubu and his estranged godson will be amicably resolved after the meeting with the President.
Daily Independent had last week exclusively reported that Ambode may have incurred the wrath of some elders in the party who felt shortchanged by his administration.
Sources even alleged that the demand by Bola Tinubu, National Leader of APC, during the last stakeholders’ meeting of the party on August 14 that the Lagos State chapter will go for direct primaries is targeted at the governor.
As at Tuesday, all the 20 local government chairmen and 37 Local Council Development Areas’ (LCDAs) chairmen in Lagos have endorsed the governorship ambition of a dark horse, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, a former Commissioner for Establishment, Training and Pensions, who is now the Managing Director of the Lagos State Property Development Corporation (LSDPC).
