Former Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode will on Friday meet with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Naija News recalls that both men, former Lagos State Governors, met at the state reception organized for Tinubu by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on June 29.

Tinubu publicly acknowledged Ambode’s presence, saying,“ I’m glad to see Ambode. Thank you Akin!” during the meeting.

According to Western Post, the meeting at the Presidential Villa is believed to be the final reconciliation between both men after they reportedly fell out over Ambode’s inability to get a second-term ticket in 2019.

It was gathered that Tinubu is reportedly considering Ambode for an appointment in his government, with the Friday meeting believed to be an avenue to conclude discussions on that.

Ambode who was then Lagos governor 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.

Recall that Ambode’s reconciliation with Tinubu and return to mainstream politics was initiated by Governor Sanwo-Olu during a visit to the home of his predecessor.
