There is anxiety presently in the camp of Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, as his godfather and National Leader of All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has been silent on in his second term bid.
Sanwo-Olu and his camp are presently worried that about Tinubu’s indifference and much more after the state government is heavily funding Tinubu’s 2023 presidential ambition.
It was also gathered that Governor Sanwo-Olu had been telling his inner circle that he was not happy with Tinubu’s body language and reluctance to give him a go-ahead for a second term, despite all the resources being pumped into his 2023 presidential campaign.
In 2019, Tinubu as always handpicked Sanwo-Olu, having rejected the then Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode. One of the top chieftains in the party revealed that Sanwo-Olu’s camp is presently worried and doing all it can to curry the APC leader’s favour which includes pumping more state owned resources into the lifelong ambition of the former Lagos state Governor.
One of the avenues the Governor will seek to explore will likely be the March 26 convention where his camp will ensure that Tinubu’s candidates emerge as national officers.
