He recalled that Governor Sanwo-Olu had earlier in the day received Hamzat, who paid him a courtesy visit to formally notify him of his intention to contest for the governorship seat in next year’s election.
He wrote that the the meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere, as is customary.The governor’s aide said the clarification became important to prevent the public from being misled by deliberate falsehoods.
