Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has debunked the rumour of a rift between him and Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun.

The clarification was made in a Thursday statement issued by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Lagos State Governor, Gboyega Akosile saying: 

“The attention of Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor of Lagos State, has been drawn to some reports making the rounds in some online media platforms and blogs, insinuating that there is a rift between Governor Sanwo-Olu and his Ogun State counterpart, Prince Dapo Abiodun.

“We wish to state clearly that this is not true. In fact, it is the direct opposite of the relationship that exists between the two leaders.

“For the avoidance of doubt,Prince Dapo Abiodun  and Governor Sanwo-Olu enjoy a very cordial brotherly relationship.

“The two brother-governors meet regularly and speak with each other frequently on matters of mutual interest for the development of their respective states. This is partly because their states share common boundaries and are also bound together by socio-cultural norms.

The statement cautioned individuals spreading fake news aimed at sowing discord between the two leaders to desist, stressing that Prince Dapo Abiodun and Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu share a common vision of improving the welfare and quality of life of their respective people.
