LAGOS — In a dramatic political turn, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has announced he has forgiven Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, ending weeks of growing speculation over a silent rift between the two top figures in Nigerian politics.
The reconciliation unfolded on Sunday during a high-stakes meeting with members of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) in Lagos. The GAC delegation, led by its chairman Alhaji Tajudeen Olusi, made a passionate appeal to the president on behalf of the governor and other political players believed to have fallen out of his favour.
“Mr. President, we acknowledge your displeasure. We plead for reconciliation,” Olusi stated in a solemn address.
In a moment that insiders described as deeply emotional, President Tinubu reportedly replied, “It’s all over now. All is forgiven.”
What followed was a powerful traditional display of remorse — Governor Sanwo-Olu and several GAC members prostrated fully before the president, embracing the Yoruba cultural gesture of respect, submission, and repentance.
While the details of the disagreement remain undisclosed, sources confirmed that the session focused not on blame, but on unity, healing, and political continuity.
