Tinubu, Buhari In Closed-Door Meeting Over Ambode’s Re-Election
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 said he is hopeful that the crisis between Tinubu and his estranged godson will be amicably resolved after the meeting with the President.
The current rift between the Governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode and the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress and Former Lagos Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu reportedly started after alteration of the state’s major policies shortly after Ambode assumed office.
It was learned that APC leader refused to endorse his political godson for re-election yesterday, ascribing it to Ambode’s decision to alter, modify and scrap some state’s policies initiated under the Tinubu administration between 1999 and 2007.
