The perceived return of Ambode to the mainstream of Lagos politics reportedly began with Sanwo-Olu’s visit to his predecessor’s home to celebrate his 60th birthday on June 14.
However, there are speculations that Ambode is one of the top favourites for a position and a seat in President Tinubu’s cabinet.
The meeting between the duo is perceived to be a conclusive conversation on the appointment of Ambode for a ministerial position.
Ambode and Tinubu have had a long history of a twisted relationship dating back to his time as governor of Lagos State and their heated feud, which dented his second-term ambition and saw the emergence of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

In another development, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, the immediate past governor of Enugu state and a PDP chieftain, will become a minister under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In February, Ugwuanyi lost the Enugu North senatorial district election to Okey Eze of the Labour Party (LP).
Before and after the 2023 general elections, the former Enugu governor fraternised with APC’s Tinubu and was also believed to have worked for the President despite being an opposition.
