Former Gov Ambode congratulates Sanwo-Olu
- Explains absence from successor’s inauguration
The former Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has congratulated his successor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, acknowledging that the new governor deserves to enjoy his historic day without having him share in the glory with him.
Explaining why he will not be attending the formal inauguration of Sanwo-Olu and the Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, on Wednesday, Ambode said Sanwo-Olu should be allowed to be the star of his inauguration.

“I have already formally handed over the reign of power in the State to the new Governor in a most cordial and convivial ceremony at the State House yesterday. The formal inauguration should have Mr. Sanwo-Olu as the star of the day. I don’t think that glory should be shared with him by my presence,” Ambode said in a statement.
Ambode said he has had a quality private moment with his successor and he is confident that with the prayers, cooperation and collective support of all Lagosians, the new government will succeed in the excellent tradition of progressive governance which Lagos State is known for.
