I still maintain a good relationship with Gov. Fashola - Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Over the past few months there have been speculations that Ex-governor of Lagos State Ahmed Tinubu has been on logger heads with the Governor of Lagos State, Raji Fashola.  The speculations attained a higher dimension when many national dailies carried the story that they have actually fallen out with each other due to the APC primaries which took place yesterday.

 

Ahmed Tinubu has come out to disassociate himself from all the stories.  Please read his full press release below.
 

-------

 

 

For a while now, I have noticed and read many published political stories on Lagos politics in particular and the personalities involved that are either concerted, unsubstantiated, pure conjectures or outright falsehood. In this instance, I reference a recent story ran by a major newspaper concerning my successor and me. There is no doubt political charlatans and enemies are at work fueling unnecessary rumour and insinuations and seeking to drive a wedge in an otherwise cordial and respectful political relationship. My relationship with Governor Fashola remains cordial both at the personal level and at the level of commitment to ensuring Lagos State remains on the path of political stability, growth and development.
