With the governor at the meeting were members of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC). They were on routine festive visit to the President, who is in Lagos for the Eid-el-Adha celebration.
“There’s none”, the governor said in response to a reporter’s question about reported tension between him and the President.
He went on: “Even you are smiling and I’m smiling. There are people that believe they are more Catholic than the Pope. There are things that you see – people crying more than the bereaved. He’s my father, he’s my leader, and we’re grateful that he gave us audience today.”
Sanwo-Olu said the group took the opportunity to show support for the President and expressed their satisfaction with his leadership over the past two years.
“It’s our usual festive period courtesy visit. It’s a time for Mr. President to meet with his brothers and leaders of our party. The GAC looks forward to it every time he is around, and this was no exception”, the governor explained.
Sanwo-Olu praised President Tinubu’s administration for delivering tangible improvements, particularly in the areas of the economy and public infrastructure.
Highlighting recent developments in Lagos, he pointed to the unveiling of newly-acquired Blue Line trains, a project he credited the President for supporting.
“Coincidentally, earlier today, I unveiled our new Blue Line trains at the National Arts Theatre. We received 12 brand new coaches – four sets of three-car trains.
“At that unveiling, we acknowledged and thanked Mr. President because he made it happen. About a year and a half ago, he supported us under his intervention for subsidy removal, understanding that Lagos would need additional means of transportation.”

The governor added that the economic reforms implemented under Tinubu’s leadership are beginning to yield visible results.
“We can feel it. We can see it. For the first time, you see petroleum pump prices coming down. You see food prices coming down. These are things that put money in citizens’ pockets. If you’ve done well, let’s say it”, he said.
