Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has denied alleged media reports of rift between him and his Ogun State counterpart, Prince Dapo Abiodun.
Governor Sanwo-Olu made the clarification on Thursday in a statement signed by his Special Adviser (SA) on Media and Publicity, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, declaring that the said reports were not true, but clearly "the direct opposite of the relationship that exists between the two leaders."
The statement read: "The attention of Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor of Lagos State has been drawn to some reports making the rounds in some online media platforms and blogs, insinuating that there is a rift between Governor Sanwo-Olu and his Ogun State counterpart, Prince Dapo Abiodun.
"We wish to state clearly that this is not true. In fact it is the direct opposite of the relationship that exists between the two leaders.
"For the avoidance of doubt, Prince Dapo Abiodun and Governor Sanwo-Olu enjoy a very cordial brotherly relationship.
"The two brother-Governors meet regularly and speak with each other frequently on matters of mutual interest for the development of their respective states. This is partly because their states share common boundaries and are also bound together by socio-cultural norms.
"We, therefore would like to advise those seeking to plant a seed of discord between the two leaders with fake news to desist forthwith as both Prince Dapo Abiodun and Mr. Sanwo-Olu are bound by common vision to make life more abundant for their respective people."
