The meeting between President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his estranged political godson and former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has generated various reactions online.
OsunDailyNG reported that President Tinubu met Ambode on Thursday at the reception organized in his honour by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the Lagos State House, Marina.
The president and the former governor exchanged pleasantries at the event attended by State Governors, former Governors, the leadership of the National Assembly and politicians.
Recall that Tinubu and Ambode had fallen out in the run-up to the 2019 general elections after withdrawing his support for then-Governor Ambode to back Sanwo-Olu for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship ticket.
Following their meeting, some Nigerians took to the micro-blogging platform Twitter to express their reactions to the development.
