The Lagos State Government has dismissed reports of a political rift between Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his Ogun State counterpart, Governor Dapo Abiodun, describing them as false and misleading.
In a statement on Thursday, the Governor’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, said claims of discord between the two governors were entirely baseless.
Akosile stressed that Sanwo-Olu and Abiodun maintain a cordial and brotherly relationship, adding that both leaders are in constant communication and regularly consult on issues affecting their neighbouring states.
He noted that their cooperation is strengthened by shared boundaries and deep socio-cultural ties, which require close collaboration on regional development.
The Lagos State Government also warned against the spread of fake news, reaffirming that both governors remain committed to a common vision for progress and development in their states.
