According to Vanguard, the media aide said Ambode and Sanwo-Olu are working together to ensure a smooth transition.

“I can speak authoritatively that the Governor-elect does not think about all that happened during the campaign period, rather his mind is fixed on the future of Lagos State.

“Mr. Sanwo-Olu’s thoughts are pre-occupied with the daunting challenges that are ahead of him and how he will harness the available human and material resources to achieve his campaign promises of a greater Lagos for all.’

‘’Very soon, Lagosians will be availed the details of all the positive things that our leaders have been working on in the background.
