The Lagos State Government has dismissed reports circulating on some online platforms alleging a rift between Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu and his Ogun counterpart Dapo Abiodun, describing the claims as false and misleading.
In a statement on behalf of Sanwo-Olu, the government said the reports completely misrepresent the relationship between the two leaders.
According to the statement, Governors Sanwo-olu and Abiodun share a cordial and brotherly relationship, contrary to suggestions of discord.
It noted that both Governors meet regularly and maintain constant communication on issues of mutual interest, particularly matters concerning the development of Lagos and Ogun states, which share close geographical and socio cultural ties.
The statement further urged purveyors of fake news to desist from spreading misinformation capable of creating unnecessary tension, stressing that both leaders remain united by a shared commitment to improving the welfare and prosperity of their people.
