Trouble Emerges In Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Femi Hamzat’s Guber Campaign Over Who Gets What!

Emerging talks have it that there is a growing undercurrent of conflict in the campaign team of Babajide Sanwo–Olu and Femi Hamzat.

Insiders disclosed this development is hinged on who gets what when the team takes over running of the government of Lagos state.

The Sanwo, Hamzat ticket is a product of “a marriage of convenience” between the two powerful political groups in the All Progressives Congress in Lagos state to deny incumbent Governor Akinwunmi Ambode re-election ticket.

Societynow.ng gathered the development which saw Sanwo–Olu emerge Governorship candidate and Hamzat become deputy governorship candidate was put together to “take care” of Ambode without the finer details of portfolio sharing cemented.

“And this has started haunting the team” societynow.ng gathered.

Societynow.ng gathered behind the roaring campaign to succeed one-term governor Ambode is a growing conflict over portfolio sharing.

Societynow.ng gathered that Hamzat backers are pushing for control of the ministry of works and transportation.

As a former commissioner, Hamzat has depth in these areas, especially at the Ministry of works where he served as chief administrator.

“This will really help the administration to hit the ground running and quickly fix the mess attributed to the Ambode regime when elected to power” Hamzat supporters argue.

But the Sanwo–Olu camp is said to be having none of this argument.

Societynow.ng learned they claim “putting the plum ministries of works and transportation under the purview of the deputy governor turns the governor to figure head”.

The real power and influence which lay inability to dole to patronage to supporters and sympathizers reside in the ministry of works and transportation, especially in Lagos societynow.ng learned.

Insiders disclosed there is yet to be a solution in sight over how to resolve the growing conflict threatening the fragile arrangement that denied Ambode re-election as Governor of Lagos state.
