Sanwo-Olu’s disclosure is coming hours after an online newspaper, Premium Times revealed that the governor spent six days at Grenada, partying with others at the 50th birthday bash of an Abuja based socialite, Aisha Achimugu.
The newspaper said the party was held at St George’s private Island which costs $924,000 (N924 million) to rent.
Sanwo-Olu was said to have lodged in an exotic five-year-old seven-star luxury resort located in Grand Anse beach which costs $132,000 (N132 million) per night. He was alleged to have stayed there for at least six nights, that is, expending N792 million on accommodation alone.
Editor of Point Blank news, Jackson Ude in a separate post on X, claimed the party costs the organisers $6 million (N6 billion) and alleged that Sanwo-Olu funded the bash But Sanwo-Olu posted on his X handle, @jidesanwoolu that he indeed visited Grenada where he met the country’s Prime Minister and also took the opportunity to attend some social events.
He said: “Last weekend in St. George’s, Grenada, I presented Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell with a miniature of the Blue Line Rail and we engaged in extensive discussions on various aspects of our bilateral relations, focusing particularly on tourism, agriculture, and other economic interests that could benefit both our regions. Prime Minister Mitchell also shared exciting plans for Grenada’s upcoming 50th-anniversary celebrations in February. It was a productive and enriching exchange, setting the stage for deeper collaboration between our regions. Additionally, I had the opportunity to attend some social events, further strengthening the ties between our two nations.”

ReplyDeleteAny story from that joker Jackson Ude (obidient's mouthpiece) is always a lie or exaggerated. Same man that said Fashola was writing Supreme court judgement on the presidential election.
ReplyDeleteFashola has sued him to court, Sanwo Olu should do same
Lmao, anyways Nigerians deserve their leaders..
DeleteI do not believe that amount of money could be spent just like that.
ReplyDeleteWhich means he indeed attended the party and spent such an outrageous amount. There's God o!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the big deal here? He was in Grenada. He with the Prime Minister and they had a fruitful deliberation on matters of bilateral interests.
ReplyDeleteA Nigerian, an acquaintance was having a bash and he attended after meeting with the Grenada PM.
Just that no every thing we can do, we should do. Especially when in public office and our action will not be good optically or is likely to by misconstrued.
DeleteA "simple Madam, I am in town and I hear of your celebrations. I cannot attend because it might be misconstrued by ... I wish you a joyful celebration" would have saved him of this plenty explanations of a fact. Except his meeting with the PM was the side attraction or a facade for the trip to Grenada.
The Bible says that not all good things are expedient.
Thank you.
DeleteThe question should be did he do it or not? Let him defend himself. Enough of all this party talk, hold your leaders accountable or continue fighting yourselves.
ReplyDeleteIt is well
ReplyDeleteGod have mercy!
ReplyDeleteAll na wash. He is guilty. As long as he said he attended some social events. He is indeed guilty

Also nothing innocent about your comment , you are on a woman owned blog, carry your self destructive hatred of women seeping through elsewhere, coward insulting an older woman like are you planning to live long? Fool
