My Relationship With Fashola Intact – Tinubu The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, yesterday, dispelled rumours making the round that the just-concluded Lagos State governorship primary election has caused rift between him and Lagos State governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola. In a statement signed by Tinubu and made available to journalists, he said contrary to the insinuations, there is no rift between them. He said: “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.” Tinubu pointed out that whether governor Fashola had a specific candidate or not isn’t the issue here, saying what is important is to have a transparent process in the spirit of democracy to which they both subscribe. He said, “We often debate, agree or disagree. But when it comes to concluding on the interest of Lagos State, we are on the same page,” he said.
