Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State, has reminded presidential aspirant Rotimi Amaechi that 2023 presidential ambition of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu remains the rallying point of Lagos.

Sanwo-Olu made the remarks while meeting with the Minister of Transportation in Marina, Lagos, yesterday.

“I have sheer regard and respect for our leader, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu. I have been a direct beneficiary of his leadership. I have been part of his cabinet. Personally I continue to tow that line of leadership and what he stands for,” he said.

Both Amaechi and Tinubu are candidates for the presidency of the All Progressives Congress.

Sanwo-Olu, on the other hand, stated that Amaechi possessed equivalent qualifications.

“I want to say to you that you’re eminently qualified and I want to wish you well in this journey. Clearly, for all of us in Lagos State, Asiwaju continues to be our rallying point, but the country is our country and we must continue to see it as the one that is indivisible and one that we all rally around. I certainly know too well what your pedigree is and what you have done,” the governor said.

Amaechi, who also reacted, claimed it was difficult for him to travel to Lagos because their national leader, Bola Tinubu, is from the city.
