An exclusive report by empowerednewswire.org has revealed why the rift between President Bola Tinubu and the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is deepening.

According to the report by the online newspaper, the deepening rift accounted for why President Tinubu did not celebrate Eid-el-Fitr in Lagos.

According to empowerednewswire.org, though there are several angles to why the father and son relationship between the President and Governor had broken down, one that reared its head of recent is Sanwo-Olu’s association with Aisha Achimugu and his decision to attend her “extravagant birthday celebration abroad last year”, which sparked media controversy.

Close associates, the newspaper reported, shared the information of the lavish party by Achimugu with the President, “who was scandalised not only by the occurrence itself but by the claims that the paramour had been swaying the Lagos State Governor in matters of governance, especially the deployment of favours in the State”.

Indeed the tales of how Ms. Achimugu had become a major influence peddler in Lagos is among what provoked a petition against her to the EFCC which last week declared her wanted in a statement signed by Dele Oyewale, the spokesman of the anti-corruption agency.

In that statement the EFCC accused Achimugu of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.

According to Lagos State political insiders “what grieved the President most was how the Governor is said to be at the fingertips of the woman, something Asiwaju is known to deeply dislike, that a woman is controlling a man in the discharge of a position of public trust!”

There are also serious suspicions and allegations spreading in political circles both in Lagos and Abuja that the Kogi State born Achimugu was the conduit who delivered funds from Sanwo-Olu to the Atiku Abubakar campaign, a claim already disputed by the Atiku media team.

Both the Presidency and the EFCC have also said the investigation is not linked to Sanwo-Olu or Atiku.

Informed sources added that the President had also not been very comfortable with the aftermath of the results of the 2023 presidential poll in Lagos which he lost to Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate.

Specifically, sources close to the Lagos State governor say the President was aghast that while he lost the 2023 poll with Sanwo-Olu in the saddle, the Lagos State governor came out victorious a couple weeks later in the 2023 polls with a significant margin of victory.

Olu had covertly supported Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), during the 2023 elections.

Said a keen observer of Lagos politics: “The President believes that is true, and such an alignment is considered a significant breach of loyalty in a political landscape where Tinubu’s leadership in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) remains dominant.”

While no concrete evidence has emerged, speculation about divided allegiances has persisted. Atiku Abubakar has publicly denied that Sanwo-Olu supported him, but in the world of politics, narratives fueled by supposedly credible sources often carry more weight than official statements.

The strained relationship between Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu has raised questions about the former governor’s political future.

Political observers suggest that while Sanwo-Olu has remained largely silent on these issues, his next moves will determine whether he retains influence within the All Progressives Congress or faces political isolation.

But there are serious concerns that the President’s displeasure has become rather deep and may have influenced the recent decision to investigate Achimugu, who it is believed managed to have escaped and left the country steps ahead of the investigation.

Anybody can put this junk together. Useless journalism

You guys should know that tinubu can't be king forever.

These boys he groomed are all waiting for him to leave the stage to step into his shoes and some are very impatient about it.

They too want to be free from his shackles, mahn, those his boys are suffocating already.

Having said that, tinubu is the greatest youruba man ever liveth

Tinubu is a gang lord. He learned the art when he was in the drug mafia and he applied it in politics.

He has men everywhere, the army, the police, the DSS, the Judiciary, NASS, all political parties including the leaders, governors, the banks, the ministries, the churches, the mosques, the media, etc everywhere .

I admire his ability to hold such a huge structure despite how criminal and selfish it may be.

Sanwo Olu will be fine.

The only thing I will advise him is to steer clear of anything Atiku related. That man is the epitome of political evil.

Sanwo olu funny since wey tinubu no be president you no beef am...Na now wey him president.
