I won’t attend Sanwo-Olu’s inauguration, says Ambode – TheNigerialawyer

* Says Sanwo-Olu should be star of inauguration

The outgoing Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, has
congratulated his successor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, saying the new
governor deserves to enjoy his historic day without him sharing the
glory with him.

In a veiled reference to why he will not be attending the formal
inauguration of Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat,
today, Ambode said Sanwo-Olu should be allowed to be the star of
his inauguration.

This was part of a press release by Ambode’s Chief Press
Secretary, CPS, Mr. Habib Aruba this morning.

The out-going governor in the release said: “I have already
formally handed over reins of power in the State to the new
Governor in a most cordial and convivial ceremony at the State
House yesterday.

“The formal inauguration should have Mr. Sanwo-Olu as the star
of the day. I don’t think that glory should be shared with him by
my presence,” Ambode said.

Ambode said he has had a quality private moment with his
successor and he is confident that with the prayers, cooperation
and collective support of all Lagosians, the new government will
succeed in the excellent tradition of progressive governance which
Lagos State is known for.
