have disagreed over what President Muhammadu Buhari went to do at the
Eko Atlantic City during his two-day working visit to the state.
Governor Ambode said in his official Twitter handle that the President
went there to inaugurate the project.
The tweet read, "We took a tour of the Eko Atlantic City with Mr.
President as he officially commissioned ( sic ) the project . Eko
Atlantic is a good example of what Public and Private Partnership can
do to the Nigerian economy. "
However, Twitter went wild with many users pointing out that it was
former President Goodluck Jonathan who in company with the then
Governor, Babatunde Fashola , and former United States President, Bill
Clinton , that inaugurated the project in 2013.
The pictures of Jonathan inaugurating the project were also shared
multiple times on the micro- blogging site.
In his response on Twitter , however, Buhari disagreed with Ambode ,
insisting that he only went to inspect the project .
Using the handle , @ NGRPresident , he said , "The President did not
commission ( sic ) or launch Eko Atlantic City . His visit was a tour
as part of a two- day offical visit to Lagos State and the plaque he
unveiled was to commemorate his visit to the site ."
