Nigerian soldiers barricaded Fashola’s residence in Abuja? Sanwo-Olu’s aide reacts

A rumoured report has revealed that military personnel flooded the entrance of the Abuja residence of former Lagos State governor Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN).

This was confirmed in a viral tweet by @BishopPOEvang, a political enthusiast on Twitter who supports Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate.

@BishopPOEvang tweeted: "Nigerian soldiers has barricaded the entrance to Babatunde Raji Fashola in Abuja.."isitors are not allowed in or out of his residence."

In reaction to the tweet, Jubril Gawat, the senior special assistant on new media to Lagos State Governor Babatunde Sanwo-Olu, figuratively dismissed the claim.

He tweeted: "Person wey dey Harbour Point dey enjoy for dem Ashafa Party … DEY PLAY " The tweet referred to Fashola attending a party organised by a former lawmaker, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, on that day.

Gawat released a follow-up tweet with video evidence of the governor donning a white agbada and a cap and dancing with the host (Senator Ashafa), who was also doing a purple agbada.
