AMBODE VISITS FASHOLA

The candidate of the All Progressives Congress for Lagos State governorship election in 2015 general elections, Mr. Akinwumi Ambode, on Monday visited the state Governor, Babatunde Fashola (SAN) in his office.

The visit was seen by many as the beginning of the end to the acrimony that trailed the APC governorship primary which pitted one of the national leaders of the APC, Senator Bola Tinubu against his political godson, Fashola. Fashola had reportedly supported a former Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of the Justice in the state, Mr. Olasupo Shasore (SAN), while Tinubu backed Ambode.

Political observers had thought that the outcome of the primary would disunite the state APC and destroy the relationship between Fashola and Tinubu.

But Monday’s visit of Ambode to Fashola and the governor’s well-publicised congratulatory message to the APC governorship candidate had put paid to this.

It was learnt that during the meeting, Ambode sought Fashola’s support for next year’s election
