Sanwo-Olu became governor under the platform of the All Progressives Congress after winning the APC gubernatorial primaries against then-incumbent governor, Akinwunmi Ambode who had fallen out of favour with his alleged political sponsor.[7][8] He is a graduate of the University of Lagos, London Business School, Lagos Business School and the John F. Kennedy School of Government.
