Why Sanwo-Olu entered the Mosque with Tinubu
The most striking and dramatic one was when President Tinubu went to have his Jumat prayer, and Governor Sanwo-Olu, a Christian, entered the Mosque with him and was there throughout the prayer session.
It was dramatic as the governor was seen in a video making a head gesture to the Islamic prayers as he sat in the corner of the Mosque close to President Tinubu.

Why Tinubu is considered a political godfather in Lagos
Tinubu was the governor of Lagos state between 1999 to 2007. He had been succeeded by three governors who appeared to still be in his camp. These successors included Babatunde Fashola, Akinwunmi Ambode and Jide Sanwo-Olu.
Being in the same party and maintaining the same camp with his successors has earned him the title of the political godfather in Lagos politics.
After the Jumat prayer at the Ansar-Ud-Deen Central Mosque in the Surulere area of Lagos, the Muslim community reportedly discussed different policies with the president.

Legit.ng earlier reported that President Tinubu has been accused of imposing the resolution reached at the presidential villa on Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
David Briggs, a former work commissioner, claimed to be in attendance at the villa meeting. He said Tinubu came into the meeting with the resolution written with him and described it as a presidential proclamation.
Briggs said Governor Fubara should not be blamed because he cannot be fighting two battles simultaneously.
