Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has hosted Arsenal winger, Bukayo Saka who is in Lagos state on vacation.
Saka, who is of Nigeria descent, had recently
sent the local football community in the country into frenzy when a video of
him strolling the street of Lagos surfaced on the internet.
The English international is on a short-term
vacation in Nigeria after which he will return to England ahead of the UEFA
Nations League and pre-season tournaments.
An excited Sanwo-Olu, while receiving Saka at
the State House, Marina, revealed the 21-year-old is his favorite Arsenal
player.
The Governor disclosed he is an Arsenal fan
while noting how proud he is of their ‘inspiring’ run in the Premier league.
He wrote, “Exciting day at the State House,
Marina today as I had the pleasure of hosting my favorite @Arsenal player, Star
Boy Bukayo Saka. @BukayoSaka87.
“I also enjoyed receiving my own signed Saka
Jersey.
“As a proud #Gunner, I’m incredibly proud of
their inspiring run in the Premier League with such a young team.
“Their determination has motivated many and
shown us the power of youth. We’re committed to bringing that same spirit to
grassroots football in Lagos.
“Together, let’s create opportunities for our
talented young players.
“Thank you for visiting me Bukayo and I look
forward to next season. #COYG.”
