According to reports, there is currently a crisis brewing between former Lagos State Governors, Bola Tinubu and Babatunde Fashola.
Is Tinubu behind recent attacks against ex-governor?
According to The Tribune, the trouble started after Fashola issued a statement denying a series of allegations levelled against him and attributing them to persons who didn’t want him to secure a federal appointment.

According to the Tribune, Fashola was making a “veiled reference to Tinubu and the incumbent governor, Akinwumi Ambode.”
The situation is said to have led stakeholders of the Lagos All Progressives Congress (APC) to call a peace meeting.
“The coming days will be interesting,” an APC source reportedly told The Tribune.

Tinubu’s supporters are said to have vowed to fight on, “to teach the former governor a lesson,” while Fashola’s supporters are “determined to ensure that his integrity is not tainted by those who are jealous of his ascendancy in the polity.”
Fashola issued a lengthy statement on Thursday, August 13, 2015, in which he denied corruption allegations against him and rumours that he had fathered children out of wedlock.
