President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently meeting with former governor of Lagos State Akinwunmi Ambode, at the Presidential Villa.

The meeting is believed to be the final reconciliation between Tinubu and Ambode after the immediate-past Lagos Governor reportedly fell out of favour with the president over his inability to get a second-term ticket in 2019.

Recall that Tinubu publicly acknowledged Ambode’s presence during a state reception organised for him by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on June 29.

It was gathered that Tinubu is considering Ambode for an appointment in his government.

Ambode lost the ticket of the All Progressives Congress to Sanwo-Olu in a direct primary election conducted across the state.

While Tinubu publicly insisted he had nothing against Ambode as the decision to remove him was that of the party members, many believed that the then governor’s failure to get the ticket of the APC was as a result of his falling out with his erstwhile mentor and political godfather.

The President also met with Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani.
