Contrary to reports, Governor of
Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has not sacked Deji Tinubu from his cabinet.

only removed Tinubu as the Board Chairman, Lagos State Sports Commission,
a position he had combined with his portfolio as the Special Adviser to the
Governor on Sports.

Special Adviser to the Governor on Sports and the Chairman, Lagos State Sports
Commission.
A government source told PM News
on Friday that Tinubu still retain his position as the Special Adviser to the
Governor on Sports and a cabinet member, as he was never sacked.
The source said that the
governor, in a bit to reposition sports in the state decided to ease Tinubu off
his position as board chairman to allow for effectiveness so that he could
concentrate on his portfolio as special adviser.

governor’s passion for effectiveness informed his decision to make a sweeping
change, adding that by next week, the changes would be effected in full, but
