Babajide Sanwo-olu has reasons to be worried over his god-father silent on his second term agenda. It was learnt on Saturday from top sources in the party that Sanwo-Olu and his camp are presently worried about Tinubu’s indifference and much more after the state government is “heavily funding” Tinubu’s 2023 presidential ambition.
Rumour has it that Sanwo-Olu had been telling his inner circles that he was not happy with Tinubu’s body language and reluctance to give him a go-ahead for a second term, despite all the resources being pumped into his 2023 presidential campaign.
In 2019, Tinubu as always handpicked Sanwo-Olu, having rejected the then governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, who turned out not to be “a good son”. Ambode had put up a fight at the APC governorship primary against Sanwo-Olu’s candidacy.
At the present, it appears the table is turning and Ambode’s fate may be waiting for Sanwo-Olu whose second term bid does not appear to be a priority for Tinubu and his circle of Lagos kingmakers.
One of the top chieftains in the party revealed that Sanwo-Olu’s camp is presently worried and doing all it can to curry the APC leader’s favour which includes pumping more state-owned resources into the “lifelong ambition” of the former Lagos governor.
“Tinubu is yet to endorse Jide Sanwo-Olu as governorship candidate. This is causing panic. The governor is worried. He is telling people that despite funding Tinubu’s candidacy, he’s yet to hear from him.”
