Lagos political rift deepens as Tinubu intentionally snubs Sanwo-Olu at Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway inauguration

President Bola Tinubu on Saturday appeared to snub Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State during the inauguration of Phase I of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road, as he greeted all the other governors present at the event but seemingly bypassed Sanwo-Olu.

The inauguration was live-streamed on the Aso Rock Villa YouTube account.

The Minister of Works, David Umahi, had secured the approval of the President for the commissioning of the completed 30-kilometre Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway.

Orji Uchenna Orji, a media aide to Umahi, said the president was expected to virtually commission part of Phase I, Section I (30 km of 750 km) at KM 8 of the project, around the Jakande Estate Area in Lagos State.
