According to Aksoile, President Tinubu while having a small bantering with the Governors after Progressive Governors Forum’s meeting earlier today at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, singled out Governor Sanwo-Olu for a warm handshake.
The Supreme Court on Friday affirmed the election of Sanwo-Olu as the duly elected Governor of Lagos State.

Justice Garba Lawal, who read the lead judgment of the apex court, dismissed the appeals filed by Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party (LP).
He also ruled that the appeal of Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour of the Labour Party is lacking in merit and is therefore struck out.
The judge held that the deputy governor of Lagos, Obafemi Hamzat, was duly qualified to contest the March 18, 2023, governorship election.
