In a video shared by the Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, President Tinubu, was seen entering the venue as dignitaries stood to welcome him.

He proceeded to shake hands with Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum, Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri, Cross River State Governor Bassey Otu, and others but appeared to bypass Sanwo-Olu, who was visibly waiting to greet him.

This sparked a debate online with some stating that the seeming snub showed that all is not well between the President and the governor.

Well, the governor and members of the Governors Advisory Council of the APC in Lagos state today visited the President. While speaking to newsmen after the meeting, the governor spoke to newsmen and dismissed the subject of problems between him and the President. He stated that they are more like father and son.
