Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State is in hot soup as Lagos political godfather, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is said to have advised him to drop his second term ambition.

This new development has made the endorsement of the governor for a second term by the Governance Advisory Council a ruse and confirmed that the council is a mere lobby group without authority.

A very reliable source informed us that Governor Sanwo-Olu has already been told by the ‘oracle’ to forget the ambition while another candidate has been asked to obtain a nomination form.

Insiders revealed how the governor went flat on the floor to beg the godfather when he was told of the current happenings but all pleadings didn’t yield a positive response.

The governor was said to have been told to keep to the agreement of one term as it was never on the table that he would run for a second term.

Meanwhile, the governor has been thrown into confusion on how to inform Lagosians and his loyalists that he would not be running and the supposed consensus agreement has collapsed.

However, we gathered that a preferred candidate who retired as a permanent secretary has been directed to obtain a nomination form from the party secretariat. He is Mustapha Olorunfemi, formerly of Lagos State Ministry of Science and Technology.
